Australian post-rock band We Lost The Sea’s fifth studio album, A Single Flower, is due for release on Friday 4th July.
“The world lay wrecked before us, a quiet ruin of things lost and things that never were. The mornings came like the grinding of old gears, a slow turning toward some unknowable purpose. And yet, in the stillness of despair, the nameless rose. Not for hope, nor for meaning, but because something in the marrow of our bones whispered that to rise was the only rebellion left,” commented the vand
A Single Flower follows five years after their fourth album Triumph & Disaster that was released just ahead of the pandemic and seemed to foreshadow the era of intensity which followed. It reached the Top 50 charts in Australia upon its released, and the band’s eventual tour in support of the record saw them sell out shows across Europe, the UK, Australia & Asia. The band’s breakout record was their critically-acclaimed 2015 album Departure Songs featuring the standout track ‘A Gallant Gentleman’ (featured in the Ricky Gervais series Afterlife). Departure Songs has amassed millions of streams worldwide and sold over 10,000 copies in physical formats.
Their new record features six tracks, among them the sprawling 10-minute epic ‘A Dance with Death’, out now as a single with a video also released that was filmed at Rancom Street Studios during the album recording sessions with producer Tim Carr. Watch the video now:
The album also includes a special guest appearance by Sophie Trudeau from Godspeed You! Black Emperor on ‘The Gloaming’. They are also celebrating the 10th anniversary of their iconic Departure Songs album, that they will perform in full at Post Festival USA and ArcTanGent Festival UK.
A Single Flower is available to pre-order on LP, CD & digital formats from the band’s website.
