about
Returning for their first single of 2024, South East London ‘Dream Rock’ quintet Rats-Tails share genre-bending new cut ‘Flowers’.
Segueing seamlessly between psychedelic-folk, dream-pop and scratchy indie-disco - all within a labyrinthine-but-breezy 4-minute voyage - ‘Flowers’s elastic framework is equally adept at full-blown, guitar-solo’ing, clarinet-blowing freak out, as it is at harsh, pared-back severity. With Courtney McMahon’s acrobatic vocals as the track’s unifying beacon, ‘Flowers’ blooms with a redemptive coming-of-age narrative; rediscovering oneself, and thriving in change.
lyrics
I bit, I chew the skin on my lips.
Anything to pass the time.
And I know you’ve seen my message to you.
I wanted to let you know, yes.
I wanted to let you know.
I wanted to let you know.
And I wanted to let you know.
I wanted to let you know.
And I wanted to let you know.
I wanted to let you know that you’ll never know all of the Flowers
