Better Lovers, who have been wrapping up work on their eagerly-awaited debut album, return with their new single “The Flowering,” a three-minute track where the band demonstrates their explosive energy and remarkable chemistry. The song is complemented by a Anthony Altamura-directed video that revels in its campiness, showcasing the five-piece outfit as they confront the less-than-friendly aspects of the natural world.

“’The Flowering” is a song we’ve been playing live since day one,” Greg Puciato explains. “It came from the same batch as the God Made Me An Animal EP, so it’s nice to finally have it recorded and out there. It’s a perfect example of how Jordan, Mitch, Goose, and Will playing together sounds like an absolute freight train. Being able to play this live so many times before recording it really amplified that even more, really deepened the groove of it, the music swings so fucking hard. Not to mention the video is one of my favorite videos I’ve ever been a part of. The title and lyrics are an obvious metaphor for realizing that we are all more than what we’re conditioned to believe, and acknowledging the collective ‘waking up’ moment that we all seem to be going through right now.”

Better Lovers returned to the studio in January, recently wrapping up work on their debut full-length via SharpTone Records, with additional details to be revealed soon.
