Following on from their highly-praised self-titled debut EP near the start of the year, Flat Party have now returned once again to deliver their brand new single 'Shotgun'.
Continuing more of that fresh and innovative indie-rock aesthetic they are quickly earning a reputation for, 'Shotgun' makes for an incredibly fun and lively listen. Brimming with broad and shimmering textures, a breezy atmosphere, and stellar hooks throughout, they continue to shine as one of the more exciting names on the rise right now.
Speaking about the new offering, vocalist Jack Lawther said, "Shotgun is an ode to hedonism, but it’s also full of self-loathing and anxiety. There’s a lyric in there based on a quote I read that was “The sun never sets on the British Empire, because even God couldn’t trust the English in the dark”, I thought that was brilliant. Musically, it’s a bit of a pisstake to be honest. I wrote it very quickly as a bit of a jab at the sea of cowbell-punk-bands that were impossible to escape at one point. A fair few people have told me after gigs that this is their favourite song and I think “of course it is, I wrote it for YOU”.
