Following the release of the swarming ‘Tip Toe,’ the first single to their upcoming debut album, genre-bending Melbourne outfit The Florets are back with another psychedelic stew that’ll make your head whirl with its dose of psych-pop glam. The second and final single ‘Paradise,’ written in partnership with producer Chris Wright of Sunset Pig Records, is a massive swirl of glossy psychedelia that finds the perfect balance between the band’s evolving tendencies and garage-pop roots. 

Littered with shimmering synths and pulsing beats, the anthemic ‘Paradise’ is a kaleidoscope of hazy and complex sounds. Speaking about the new single, the band said in a press release: “We had finished the production on the album and had envisioned the track [‘Paradise’] to be an instrumental break in the album. After playing around with the groove, we managed to hit a sweet spot and thought it too good of an opportunity to not lay down some vocals. This eventuated in ‘Paradise,’ a song about never being happy with what you have, even when you’re living in a perfect paradise.”

The new single is accompanied by a quirky music video directed by Rick Maxwell Douglas and was filmed at the old Ewaninga railway station. Throughout the video, we see scenes of a fearless lone cowboy named Bison who dances freely while wandering through a desert. 

“With just a Canon 5D on hand, a Melbourne lockdown to avoid and the infinite beauty of Central Australia, ‘Paradise’ was able to be,” Maxwell said. “Snap lockdowns attempting to yet again thwart a Florets music video, we adapted on the fly, using their much appreciated freedom to come up with something completely new, straight from the brain-sack. ‘Paradise’ follows the salacious, yet troubled adventures of Bison; a lone cowboy dancing his way through a stunning dreamscape of desert, derelict buildings and golden light. The stuff of dreams, or nightmares, pending personal taste.”
