Anxieties and insecurities have never sounded as sweet as they do infusing “Origami,” the sensational sophomore single from Sydney trio The Flowers. The band describes the song as “an ode to anxiety – social anxiety, insecurity within relationships and a little existential panic to top it all off.” I just think it’s brilliant.
This song is the perfect combination of happy-sad. It’s indie pop with a cutting rock edge and angelic vocals from Agnes O’Dwyer.
“After years of feeling like I was made differently, made wrong, I decided to write this song,” she explained. “It was an attempt to try and make sense of my conflicting needs to both be wanted and alone at the same time. The song explores the lengths we go to in order to seek the answers to ‘fix’ the anxiety instead of actually, truly listening to it.”
I wish I discovered this track before their recent single launch. However, hopefully it’s just the first of many shows for this exciting Sydney act.
