Sweden’s La Fleur Fatale has always shot for the stars. Since their imaginative 2007 debut Night Generation, the dynamic indie rock band has delivered dreamy lyricism, bright indie-rock flair, and classic rock riffage in the style of 1960s psychedelia to audiences the world over. The band chronicled their triumph in the short documentary, Share This Love — which received a theatrical premiere in their hometown in Linköping, Sweden. Over a decade later, they’re showing no signs of slowing down.
Back with a brand new single “Skydancer,” La Fleur Fatale is taking a bold new turn in their journey as a band as they explore a heavier, more electric side to their sound, fairly untapped since the group’s debut. A fascinating spin on their typically more classically rocking style, “Skydancer” reverberates with powerful stomping drums and shimmery keyboards, undoubtedly more owed to Muse than ’60s pop-rock. Laden with a steady, infectious rhythm, it’s pretty evident that despite the adventurous twist that “Skydancer” takes on the La Fleur Fatale sound, the band certainly hasn’t lost their penchant for artful psychedelia.
Accompanying this exciting tune is a music video of appropriately tremendous proportions. The wild, visually enthralling feature sees the ever-eccentric band in full battle dress, armed with their guitars, bass, and drums, rocking out to the enticing single. Silhouetted against a colorfully cosmic display as vast and mysterious as space itself, La Fleur Fatale truly put on a spectacle befitting a single of the name “Skydancer.” Vibrant kaleidoscopic visages entrance the viewer, a perfect compliment to the song’s hypnotic melody.
In their storied career, La Fleur Fatale has traversed land and sea on the strength of their timeless sound, performing at music festivals across Europe and plotting expansive tours throughout the US, captured in a pair of short documentaries. Lauded by music publications like Classic Rock Magazine and Sweden’s GAFFA, the band continues to make waves in the rock world as they continue to push their sonic boundaries, aligning an intrepid artistic vision with a sound that truly is uniquely La Fleur Fatale. “Skydancer” is available now on Lövely Records.
