FLOAT Channel Intense Post-Punk On ‘Mother’

It's a gothic return from the London group...

London five-piece FLOAT have been winning underground plaudits for some time now, with their intense live shows channelling a barbed, gothic sense of post-punk energy.

Linking with Strong Island Recordings, the band went into the studio recently, aiming to nail the unhinged precision of their stage sound.

New single 'Mother' comes close, echoing elements of early Bauhaus or even those initial Joy Division demos in its highly personal sense of sonic brutalism.

A brooding return, laced with foreboding, there's nonetheless a hint of glamorous purpose that recalls the black-clad romanticism of Echo & The Bunnymen.

'Mother' comes equipped with some damaged visuals, the chaotic video effects matching the raw intensity of the music.
