‘It Will Be Okay’, the follow up to the recent ‘One And Only’ single, was recorded and self produced in Wellington and Christchurch and is available now to download at all the usual major outlets.
Taking inspiration from the likes of Beach House and Hundred Waters, the new single is a beautifully crafted break-up song that’s heart breaking yet strangely uplifting. Without doubt their most expansive and cinematic sound to date, the new single is a hint of what to expect from the band’s forthcoming second album.
French For Rabbits have also announced that they will play six UK shows in October, their first British dates since the release of their debut album ‘Spirits’ in 2014. They start the tour at The Mash House in Edinburgh on the 9th of October and wind up at the Old Blue Last in London on Monday the 16th of October.
Originally formed in Waikuku Beach in 2011 by Brooke Singer (piano, guitar, vocals) and John Fitzgerald (guitar), the duo have since moved to Wellington and are now a quintet following the addition of Ben Lemi (guitar, vocals, bass), Hikurangi Schaverien-Kaa (drums) and Penelope Esplin (vocals, bass, keys, percussion). Since the release of their debut ‘Claimed by the Sea’ EP in 2012, their music has featured in The Vampire Diaries and Being Human and has picked up over 10 million listens online.
