Brisbane pop-punk aficionados Waxflower have released their latest single “Soak.”
Having explored the subtle addition of electronic elements in previous releases, Waxflower today boldly step forward into the embrace of layered synthesizers, and a darker, heavier sonic direction. Keen listeners will also note a second vocal on the track – that of the band’s guitarist Jordan Beard. Despite this new contrast, the undercurrent of hopefulness for which the band have become known is still ever-present on “Soak.”
Mental health has been a consistent theme woven throughout Waxflower’s lyrics, and “Soak” continues this narrative, exploring the anxiety and panic disorder experienced by frontman Tristan Higginson.
