London six-piece Flat Party have announced their new EP It’s All Been Done Before set for release on 15th November via Submarine Cat Records. The announcement is celebrated with the release of the title track as the band’s new single. Co-produced with Chris McCrory (Walt Disco, The Joy Hotel), across the new EP, Flat Party hint at influence from 70’s glam-rock, jagged art-rock, noughties alt-rock and everything in between – all the while flirting with ideas surrounding hedonism, desperation, promiscuity and blurry-eyed romanticism as they continue to carve out their own unique universe of colourful indie-rock.
New single and EP title track ‘It’s All Been Done Before’ closes out the EP track listing in a state of melancholy. Adorned with searing guitar riffs and punctuated by Jack Lawther’s introspective lens on intimacy and self-doubt, vocalist Jack Lawther shares:
“I’ve always loved songs that contradict themselves. The music of this song is quite melancholic and unsure of itself, while the lyrics are just pure love. It’s kind of fitting that the relationship I was writing about didn’t work out in the end; I was singing something that I didn’t believe and that’s evident in the song. Musically, this is the most “alt-rock” we’ve ever been; it’s romantic, desperate and boastful.”
