The Australian post-rock sextet are preparing to allow ‘A Single Flower’ to bloom with the release of their first album in five years, of which this sprawling ten-minute epic is the first sample of what to expect:

The band say of the album:

The world lay wrecked before us, a quiet ruin of things lost and things that never were. The mornings came like the grinding of old gears, a slow turning toward some unknowable purpose. And yet, in the stillness of despair, the nameless rose. Not for hope, nor for meaning, but because something in the marrow of our bones whispered that to rise was the only rebellion left.

  • ‘A Single Flower‘ will be released on 4 July.
  • We Lost The Sea will play two sets, including their ‘Departure Songs’ album in its entirety, at the ArcTanGent festival in August.
