False London Are A Fiery Force In Debut Single “Flames”
Sydney four-piece False London are kicking off the ground with their debut single “Flames”, a playful pop track that makes every day feel like summer. The newcomers have announced that the track is just a first taste of the EP to come later this year.
“Flames” is a melting pot of witty lyrics, melodies that radiate positivity and bliss laid bare on top of a primal yet refined mix of guitars, bass and drums. Driven by a passion and a dire need to be creating, this track is evident of absolute talent, commitment and dedication.
“I wrote ‘Flames’ coming out of a situationship where it always felt the other person had one foot in and one foot out at all time,” says lead vocalist Brent Martin of False London. “We were caught in this dance where neither one of us wanted to be the one who cared the most and by the end of it we were both just exhausted. So the track is kind of the last stand, so to speak. It's putting all the cards on the table, for better or worse, and saying "Let's cut the bullshit. If we're going down, let's go down hard."
“I wrote the original demo in one sitting, just strumming on my guitar and the words came together organically - which isn't always that easy,” says vocalist Brent Martin. “When we got to the studio we polished it up a bit but it's largely the same song as the demo, which I think means I got it right the first time right?”
False London is a band born out of necessity. An unmistakable drive to create, not because of the false promises inherently made in its pursuit but the liberating therapy it guides and guarantees, nothing more, nothing less.
Established as a four-piece from all corners of Greater Sydney in the midst of a pandemic, False London became much more than just a reason to survive but the reason to pursue something meaningful. The outfit advanced to be a silver lining, providing the landscape to discover the band's sound and a style that is true and loved from the inside first.
“Flames” is impressive from start to finish, especially considering that this is the first release from the Sydney novices False London.
