The Ramona Flowers have just released Strangers, their new album out on Distiller Records. The single “Out Of Focus” is the synth-based track that begins with a rhythmic drum groove and continues with an upbeat, addictive chorus.
Recorded at The Distillery in Bath with esteemed producer Chris Zane (Bat For Lashes, Friendly Fires, Passion Pit), “Out of Focus” is the The Ramona Flowers’ perfect balance between rock and electronica. Seamlessly meshing contemporary influences with timelessly anthemic melodies. The following 10 tracks hit a euphonic sweet spot reminiscent of M83, Phoenix and Everything Everything.
“For the whole album we were lyrically influenced by relationships within the band and life and things that have happened with friends and family. Musically we were influenced by bands like Phoenix, M83, Everything Everything, Bombay Bicycle Club, but we use a lot of 80’s synths, and have definitely been inspired by movies from our childhoods. We’ve always been into that 80’s cinematic sound.” – Steve Bird
The follow-up to their first two albums – 2014’s Dismantle & Rebuild and 2016’s Part Time Spies – Strangers is the sound of a band who have refined their craft through years of experience, experimenting with a breadth of styles to fully excavate their potential and discover exactly who they want to be. Now to celebrate the release of the new album, The Ramona Flowers will be hitting Australian shores to showcase these euphoric sounds at Australian Music Week, where they were hand picked.
“Out of Focus” is a testament to The Ramona Flowers’ uncanny ability to perfectly mesh rock and electronica with addictive, radio-ready hooks that constantly leave you wanting more and more. This magnetic song is the latest single off of the band’s recently released album.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
