Full Flower Moon Band ProfileBrisbane rockers Full Flower Moon Band have returned: they’ve announced that their fourth album, After Dark, arrives in early 2027, and they’ve unveiled the first single, the “unnerving” Endless Summer.
In a statement, the band’s ringleader, Kate “Babyshakes” Dillon, explained that Endless Summer is darker than its title suggests.
“This hopeless, frantic optimism is summarised in the chorus lyric: ‘You can have an endless summer, anytime the sun comes out.’ What began as a simple instrumental track is now unleashed onto the world as an unnerving battle cry,” she said.
The single arrives with an accompanying music video, which includes black-and-white footage of the band in New York before flashing to their energetic live performances, plus shots of Dillon performing as a child.
She shared, “It gives me the feeling of being nostalgic for something that happened only moments ago. When life’s highs and lows move so quickly, you end up feeling nothing at all. That emotional distance feels connected to the cynicism at the heart of the song.”

Full Flower Moon Band’s forthcoming album arrives on Friday, 26 February, via Impressed Recordings. Their latest collection of music was written during a one-month period in New York City, following Dillon’s win of QMusic’s Grant McLennan Fellowship.
“After Dark isn’t about reclaiming anything, because nothing was taken,” a press release notes. “It’s about permission to imagine again, something Dillon gave up somewhere along the way in service of the collective. This record is her stepping into what’s next.”

After Dark is the highly anticipated follow-up to the band’s 2024 album, Megaflower, which debuted at #1 on the ARIA Australian Albums Chart, sold out its first vinyl pressing in a week, and was named The Triffid’s Album of the Year.
The album announcement arrives after it was confirmed that Full Flower Moon Band would support US rock band Foo Fighters on their upcoming Australian tour.
