Stella Donnelly Announces Second LP 'Flood' With New Song Lungs, Plots Autumn UK Tour
Tuesday, 10 May 2022
Written by Jon Stickler
Stella Donnelly has announced her second album.
The follow-up to 2019's 'Beware Of The Dogs' is called 'Flood' and will arrive on August 26 via Secretly Canadian.
It'll include the newly shared single Lungs among its 11 tracks, a sprightly pop track that rolls out over a steady shuffle beat from the drums and playful piano notes. It comes teamed with a video that the Australian musician co-directed alongside Duncan Wright. She commented:
"Very loosely based on the Banded Stilts of my album cover, the character I play in red is a wobbly adult, doing their best with their new set of legs and responsibilities, trying to make it look easy but very much on unsteady ground.
"I wanted this video to celebrate the child, firm in their footholds, intimidatingly honest, not to be messed with, they are the strength and power of this video no matter how much I try to assert myself as the boss."
The clip was choreographed by Donnelly's childhood friends, sisters Billie, Nikki, and Stevie Tanner, who run the Tanner Dance Academy. "They weaved so much beauty in their choreography and also let the dancers apply their own take to the movements, which really shines through in the static shots," Donnelly added. "Grace Goodwin who produced, set-designed and costumed the clip was integral in creating my stilted character and creating a point of difference between that and my child self."
Donnelly will support the record with UK and Ireland headline shows in November, as part of a wider European tour. Tickets go on general sale at 10am on May 13. She also has North American dates in the diary.
