The Dark Flowers return with a new album ‘Indian Summer’.

'Green Plastic Bullets' released 24/10/24 is the first track and features Gabriella Cilmi and it's a darkly beguiling track from the badlands of the US Midwest, again mined from Sam Shepards book of prose/poetry 'Motel Chronicles', which explores the underbelly of the American heartland with its small towns/motels/characters. This book informs the new album as it did the debut album Radioland. The new album features Cilmi alongside former Bauhaus and Love & Rockets bassist/vocalist David J, Indie songstress The Anchoress, Red Sky Julys Shelly Poole and Simple Minds Jim Kerr. The album will be released in March 2025 and will be preceded by individual releases from all 5 collaborators.the companion volume to ‘Motel Chronicles’, an additional source of inspiration. Jim Kerr from Simple Minds continues his involvement with 3 tracks as does Indie Art Rocker The Anchoress. David J from Bauhaus/Love and Rockets is also a featured artist along with Gabriella Cilmi turning in 2 dark and beguiling tracks.
