Meatbodies have announced their next LP, Flora Ocean Tiger Bloom, which is set for release on March 8 via In the Red. Lead single ‘Hole’ arrives with a video by Matt Yoka, which you can check out below.
Flora Ocean Tiger Bloom follows Meatbodies’ 2021 effort 333. “The last record was more of a cartoon version of who we were – simple and fun without delving into heavy concepts,” frontman Chad Ubovich said in a press release. “The whole thing before with Meatbodies was never sit down, next part, next part, but I wanted to make something with more depth. After everything that had happened, and my personal life, I was left with this feeling of emptiness and loss. So I wanted to make music that was absent from things– songs that were more about conveying feeling.”
“That was one of the first songs I wrote, and I think it’s really indicative of that time,” Ubovich added of ‘Hole’. “How I was thinking and feeling and what I wanted to accomplish with this LP before I even knew it.”
