Florence Sinclair is a name that has been swirling through the UK underground; a music-maverick who has been quietly unravelling their liminal world since 2021 debut Gentle Decay (a sparsely cinematic exploration of memories and dreams – Document Journal). Through subsequent releases – It’s a Big Man Ting and departures, wonders & tears – Florence Sinclair has captivated a devoted following that includes Sega Bodega who invited them to remix ‘Set Me Free, I’m an Animal’ and support on tour, Iceboy Violet, Klein and Seán McGirr who personally requested ‘White Horse’ soundtrack Alexander McQueen’s SS25 Fashion Week show.
Florence Sinclair has released new single ‘bandz’, their first solo music in a year and first on new label home XL Recordings. Sinclair’s music embodies their multifaceted identity by merging the intersections of existing genres, cultures, and histories. Their ever-evolving artistry takes a bold new turn on ‘bandz‘. Over a hypnotic beat, Sinclair chants with an electrifying confidence, signaling the dawn of an exciting new era.
