After stripping back the layers to expose their own vulnerabilities, hopes, fears and passions, Floodlights emerge with their third album, ‘Underneath’.
Heralding a collective metamorphosis for the five-piece, ‘Underneath’ is the band’s most introspective work to date. Born from an intoxicating time of transience and new experiences - playing major festivals in Australia and abroad, connecting with new cultures and bringing their unflinchingly honest ruminations to more corners of the globe - ‘Underneath’ was largely written on the road during an extensive tour which took them to the UK, Europe, around Australia and the US.
The creation of ‘Underneath’ was an intimate process, marked by quiet, shared moments of contemplation. While on tour, the band found pockets of time to turn inward and write - transforming a Hackney rehearsal studio into spaces for creative release. ‘Melancholy Cave’, ‘JOY’ and ‘Horses Will Run’ took shape during these sessions, capturing the raw emotions and palpable sense of change that defines the album.
Other tracks surfaced from places closer to home, in the grounding moments between. ‘Suburbia’, a harmonica-fuelled ode to the mysteries of our hidden internal lives, where being seen is not the same as being understood, was crafted from the solitude of Victoria’s Kennett River. Ahead of embarking on their 2023 tour came ‘5AM’, which captures the tangible feeling of anticipation - the liminal space - before what is still to come.
‘Underneath’ blends Floodlights’ sharp societal reflections with personal meditations on grief, memory and identity. ‘This Island’ critiques Australia’s national identity, while ‘Melancholy Cave’ reflects on posthumous recognition, inspired by Sinéad O’Connor. Tracks like ‘Horses Will Run’ and ‘JOY’ explore heritage, loss and the pursuit of happiness. Themes of ageing (‘Buoyant’), resilience (‘Alive’), emotional turbulence (‘Light Won’t Shine Forever’), and hope (‘Cloud Away’) shape the album. Produced by Dan Luscombe and mixed by John Congleton, ‘Underneath’ is a vivid exploration of change, belonging and the human experience.
