New Zealand dreampop luminaries French For Rabbits have dedicated nearly a decade to creaming warmly detailed and expansive music together.

Their third, prophetic, LP The Overflow is set for release via Reckless Yes (UK), AAA Records (NZ/Aus), and A Modest Proposal (Italy) is described by the band as their most "immediate and honest" record to date.

The Overflow draws on the influence of contemporary artists Laura Jean, Hannah Cohen and Hundred Waters alongside the storytelling of folk and rap music, and even references 90's cultural touch points such as Moby, Enya and The Lion King.

Whilst its inspirations are diverse-the result is a singular album that is confident in its delivery.

The album follows on from their elegantly stated second LP The Weight of Melted Snow and their 2014 break-out Spirits, which received millions of streams, and song placements everywhere from the Vampire Diaries to Netflix's Never Have I Ever TV series.

On their new album, the group, led by Brooke Singer, sweeps forward with their most dazzling body of work to date-from the introverts' anthem 'The Outsider' to the unfurling end-of-the-world statement piece "Nothing in my Hands".

Written and recorded mostly in 2020 in Wellington, the songs on The Overflow cover a wide range of topics, with the common threads of introversion and anxiety woven throughout...
