Glammed-up & blissed-out in the sun, Montreal-based FLEECE is an eccentric, chosen family band doing it their way. As they tell stories about being queer & dancing through life’s troubles, they feel a dire need to bring play and fantasy to the forefront (or/ back into the world). “Where’s My Beach Hat” is the second single from the band’s forthcoming LP, kicking off their 2024-25 album cycle. A fresh, fun summer pop song, it follows 2023 hits “It’s The Life” and “Do You Wanna Party.”
Produced by Gus Van Go (The Beaches, Metric, Cowboy Fringants) in Toronto, “Where’s My Beach Hat” was written live in the band’s Montreal jam space and as the band describes it: “It’s a nostalgic, bittersweet one, about making the same mistakes over time – the mistake of overconsumption, the things that might be bad for you, working too hard, and trying to escape from reality. This song showcases our softer side, with a beachy, sweet, and soft vibe.”
With influences ranging from Chappell Roan, Benny Sings, and Lana Del Rey to The Bee Gees and The Beatles, listeners can expect energized, forward-moving tracks coupled with a few mid-tempo songs reflecting FLEECE’s beloved sultry bedroom-pop vibe from the new album.
The message from the band? You better hop on the ride, because they’re driving fast and thriving in their “happy-go-lucky meets golden retriever energy” that has become infectious for audiences and spills over into their music as joyful, upbeat energy that the world needs right now – no one is doing it quite like FLEECE.
