Press release:

Floodlights announce an extensive national headline tour in support of their upcoming third studio album, Underneath, out March 21. They will be bringing their highly-touted live performances to audiences in Australia and New Zealand.

Written amidst extensive touring of Europe and the UK, Australia and the US, Underneath was shaped by a surreal period in each members’ lives - full of firsts, exploring new places, playing their biggest gigs and festivals yet. Despite the transience of their new life on the road, the writing process proved a starkly intimate time marked by quiet, shared moments of contemplation. The songs that emerged represent a process of reckoning, catharsis and growth within the group, fusing the incisive societal reflections they are renowned for with more personal meditations on grief, memory and place; ultimately giving shape to a myriad of emotions and experiences that linger beneath the surface.
