Surfacing nearly a decade ago from long oceanic shores, dream-pop luminaries French for Rabbits create music that feels like it has been crafted from the fabric of the New Zealand landscape and psyche – with its salty waves, isolated coastlines, expansive skies and friendly, approachable people. That is to say, their music is at once intimate and expansive, welcoming and wary, poetic but piercing. Together the band have released three records - NZ Music Award-nominated EP Claimed by the Sea; Spirits and 2019’s The Weight of Melted Snow.
New single ‘The Overflow’, is their most immediate and compelling to date. The accompanying video, filmed by Bill Bycroft (Aldous Harding, Marlon Williams, Stella Donnely and The Naked & Famous) and edited by Singer, explores the juxtaposition of the song in visual form. Sunny yellows denote hopefulness whilst vignettes of delicate tea-cups precariously perched on ledges, contraptions that are bound to break and lemons being squeezed by a plastered finger represent the anxiety at its core.
‘The Overflow’ is out now via Reckless Yes in the UK, Europe, and North America, AAA Records in NZ and Australia, and A Modest Proposal in Italy with a brand new album to follow later in the year.
French for Rabbits 'The Overflow' single release tour kicks off next week in Christchurch.
The shows follow a scattering of spellbinding performances back in April and an appearance in the Mansfield: In her own Words concerts.
