(vera) sunshine on thistle-lined nests of transphobes ear piercing whistles make it seem so blissful from a distance so small bird call signals distort let the kids know, they can resist undertow don't make them feel alone and let the lifeline overgrow it's not hard to be hateful handouts make the wrists glow

(vera) i can’t keep holding back outside they call my name i don't think i'm better than i'm trying to pretend i just don’t think i can get down from here i’ve fallen apart again i’ve fallen apart again i’ve fallen apart again i’ve fallen apart again i know, i'm tired too i know that i'm upsetting you fire fought my breathe for you from dusk until the dawn i know, im tired too i know that im upsetting you fire fought my breathe for you from dusk until the dawn i know, i know, it's just a forest fire i wish to stay beside you but if everything subsides will u think that i'm a liar? i know, i know, i know, i know, it's just a forest fire (tammy) it's all a ruse, absent we ember it's hard to feel and i miss her

sleepyhead 03:47
(tammy) you can't stop the drowning and the violence in my head you had made up someone you've not met i don't need you you don't hear the cellos and the choir by my bed you rest upon arms that which caress hopeless dreamer

(vera) with cold hands and stammered breath i draw the lines until my death got a voice beating in my chest bleeding out what's next what's next trying to relax but i'm hurt from stress colour between lines until my death got a voice beating in my chest bleeding out what's next what's next (tammy) compress myself into a shape depress my bones into a paste enriched by my pursuits florelle f l o r e l l e

ultraviolet 02:11
(tammy) piercing UVs cut me Wherever I want to be Another forgotten I saw them leave far away Up and out, I saw your leaves sail

comfort 03:00
(tammy) i like it when you take me to the river you don't assume its real i'm saved and sailed across the bloody river full of nails i know something's different feel my fingers crack i see colours shifting you don't think it hurts me but i'm saved and sailed across this bloody river full of nails!! across this bloody river full of nails!! across this bloody river full of nails!! across this bloody river full of nails!!

(tammy) Sit still, lingering here unsatisfied with it. You know... Standing alone... Standing alone Standing alone It's you, all alone Standing alone

about

hi hi! we're florelle, an internet band featuring vera, etc., Lumin, and Hexosphere.

"flying colours" is the second album to come out of our song-a-week challenge. as lives got busier, weekly songs turned into weekly demos, meaning our summer album is coming out in the autumn. it takes time to make timely music! we're committed to doing an album for every season, even if the timelines don't quite align. it's okay, climate change exists. rainy winters, snow in spring, who even knows what a season is any more (oh no).

we hope you enjoy this album as much as we enjoyed making it!

- florelle

"flying colours" sees the band steering into harsher sounds and denser compositions, finding a new voice in the process. mixing together elements of shoegaze, breakcore, and noisier strains of indie music, the band finds comfort in style and reaches out to explore new territory.
