Floodlights

Floodlights are a Melbourne-based indie rock quartet serving up jangly guitar goodness with a side of introspective lyricism. Formed in 2018, the band—Louis Parsons (vocals/guitar), Joe Brakespear (guitar), Ashlee Kehoe (bass), and Archie Shannon (drums)—carves out nostalgic, melody-driven tunes that nod to Aussie indie traditions while carving their own path. Their 2020 debut album *From a View* solidified their reputation for crafting earnest, guitar-heavy reflections on time and self-discovery, with tracks like "Thanks for Understanding" and the recently released "Underneath" showcasing their knack for balancing wistful hooks with raw, conversational storytelling. Whether through the restless energy of "Buoyant" or the contemplative sway of "The Light Won't Shine Forever," Floodlights’ music feels like a late-night chat with old friends—unpretentious, relatable, and steeped in the quiet drama of everyday life.
