Flat Party Releases New Song “Hindsight”
London-based indie rock band Flat Party, consisting of Jack Lawther (vocals), Rory O’Rourke (guitar), Nic Morris (bass) Dylan Tarayan-Bibbs (guitar), Zander Hearn (drums), and Tom Hunt (keys), released a new song “Hindsight” on November 21, 2023.
The song is the third single off of their upcoming self-titled debut EP, which is set to be released on January 19, 2024.
The track was written by Flat Party and produced by Andy Savours.
“Hindsight” is a politically charged track about hateful immigration policies and terrible leadership.
“Our generation is often seen as this group of people who moan for no reason, but it really does feel like we’ve got absolutely no power to try and shift things for the better,” the band frontman Jack Lawther said of the song. “The lyrics for this came just after the first lockdown, which inspired the anger behind the end passage. There’s a lot to unpack with the rest of the song, but its ultimately about frustration, especially at the attitudes that are commonly directed to our generation about the state of the world and how 'ungrateful' we are.”- The band guitarist Rory O’Rourke added, “Musically, it was a song that seemingly materialised out of nowhere. Once the chords were recorded, the rest just flowed effortlessly - which doesn’t happen too often. I shared it with Jack, who then helped craft the big grandiose ending.”
The debut EP comprises-5-track, featuring tracks written over the past few years, the record acts as a perfect entry point to Flat Party’s wonky indie without getting too abstract.
Jack Lawther said of the EP, “Flat Party is very loose in terms of what we actually categorise it as, because we pull from so many different styles. Right now though, this feels good.” - source : Apple Music
