Produced by John Hill, ‘Heavy’ offers the first taste of a band with boundless potential.
A propulsive, guitar-laden track crafted during the band’s first trip to Los Angeles, ‘Heavy’ blends remarkable musical chemistry with an impressive emotional depth. Written after a tumultuous fortnight for frontwoman Lily Aron, the blunt lyrics seethe with frustration; showcasing her innate songwriting talent and penchant for raw honesty.
Florence Road are a female four-piece from Wicklow, Ireland. Made up of childhood friends Lily Aron (Vocals), Emma Brandon (Guitar), Ailbhe Barry (Bass) and Hannah Kelly (Drums), the band spent their teens perfecting their craft in Aron’s garden shed, refining a sound that is as influenced by icons like The Cranberries and Fleetwood Mac as it is contemporary peers such as Wolf Alice and Phoebe Bridgers.
First capturing audience attention by posting covers online in their distinct style, the band has built up an ardent fanbase without any official releases, receiving early co-signs from Olivia Rodrigo and beabadoobee in the process. As the band prepares to release more music this year, ‘Heavy’ should serve as ample warning that Florence Road are set to establish themselves as one of the defining bands of their generation.
