Atlanta’s indie darlings Penelope Road are back with another stunning track. Their latest offering, "Flowers (Carry Me Home)," dropped this Friday and it’s already making waves.
This marks the quintet’s second release of the year, following their earlier hit "Out Tonight." The timing? Perfect – it coincides with the kickoff of their highly anticipated U.S. tour.

What strikes you first is Charles Eastman’s elegant piano work, setting this mid-tempo gem in motion. Then Koan Roy-Meighoo’s guitar slides in with that unmistakable groove that just… hits different.
Anthony Smith keeps things refreshingly laid-back behind the kit. The acoustic elements blend seamlessly with James Kopp’s smooth basslines, creating something that feels like an impromptu jam session on a perfect summer evening.
Lyrically, it’s beautifully straightforward – exploring that push-and-pull dynamic we’ve all experienced in relationships. Max Moore’s vocals shine throughout, but those key changes in the latter half? Absolutely soulful.

No official music video yet, but the band did release a live performance alongside the streaming debut. Smart move, honestly – sometimes raw performance captures the essence better than polished production.
Their tour continues with some exciting support slots lined up. They’ll be joining Lake Street Dive and Goose for fall dates, which should be quite the experience for fans.
The quintet’s sound continues evolving while staying true to their indie roots. Warner Records clearly knows what they’re doing with this signing.
