Flat Party Releases New Song “Madonna”
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 (keyboards), will release their upcoming sophomore EP “It's All Been Done Before” on November 15, 2024.
From the EP, the band released the third sing called “Madonna” along with the Zander Hearnon-directed music video on October 23, 2024.
The song features an address of toxic masculinity and sexual manipulation.
The track was written by Jack Lawther, Nic Morris, Rory O'Rourke, Tom Hunt, and Zander Hearn. Produced by Chris McCrory.
The band lead singer Jack Lawther said of the song, “This song is about sexually intimidating people. You know, the sort that have seen it all before and nothing you do will make it worth their time. Lyrically, It's deliberately off-putting and kind of creepy. I wrote it pretty much all in one go, in a stream-of-consciousness where I just let that horrid part of my mind take over. Musically, it's very repetitive, which I think comes from a lot of the krautrock and industrial music I was listening to at the time.”- The new EP comprises 5 songs, produced by Chris McCrory, featuring ideas surrounding hedonism, desperation, promiscuity and blurry-eyed romanticism.
Jack Lawther said of the EP, “In comparison to the subtle optimism of our debut EP, the songs on our new EP are dark, hedonistic and dramatic.. There's always been that side of the band present, so it felt right to represent it properly. Sonically, it's all a lot more intense than the first EP too and we've really made the most of our musical arsenal when it comes to the arrangements.” -
