Floral Image Announce Debut LP 'Gone Down Meadowland', Air "Burning 305"

Norwich, UK neo-psych/krautrock/indie five-piece Floral Image have announced the release of their highly-anticipated debut album ‘Gone Down Meadowland‘.

To mark the announcement the band have also shared their new single and video “Burning 305“. The record will be out on April 25 through Fuzz Club. Pre-order your copy here.

UPDATE 2/3/2025: “Burning 305” is out new Single of the Week!

On ‘Gone Down Meadlowand’, Floral Image wanted to hone a brand of East-Coast psychedelia that reflected the natural lusciousness and glorious solitude of the immediate world around them. Over 30 songs were conjured, considered and arranged before being whittled down to a final 10 that epitomise what they do best – ten tracks of vivid hue, harnessed live power, all laced together in fluid lyrical harmonies. Taking inspiration from band favourites Woods, KGLW, Stereolab, among many others, a string of at-home recording sessions commenced over a 6-week period across the summer of 2024.

The lead single,’ Burning 305′ follows the mould of the band’s earlier creations with white-knuckled rhythms layered with dashing production and gritty guitars.

“A lot of themes are anti-establishment commentaries on the state of the modern world. It can feel isolating being bystanders of global concern in sleepy Norfolk, even though it’s easy to slip into a false comfort when you’re surrounded by vast space, natural beauty and friendly folks down the market. Gone Down Meadowland is that egoless escapist fantasy that still can’t escape the world caving in on itself; Norfolk isolationism.”

Produced by the band themselves, mixed by Hugh Fothergill of Volleyball, and mastered by Joseph Carra at Crystal Mastering of KGLW fame, Gone Down Meadowland is Floral Image’s first full flourish.
