about

Flowers of America (FOA) return with a laid-back Earth Day treat: The naturally compelling single "Mother Earth," recorded in one take.

Renée LoBue, the force behind FOA, has been quietly shaping her creative landscape. Following FOA's 2020 debut "Videorama" and 2021's EP "The Twin Set," her primary band, Elk City, has been making waves with two critically acclaimed albums: "Above the Water" in 2022 and "Undertow" in 2023, earning praise from Toronto's Spill Magazine as one of the year’s best LPs.

Beyond making music, in 2020 LoBue co-founded the Magic Door record label alongside bandmate Ray Ketchem and Guided By Voices drummer Kevin March. She also continued making visual art, including a noteworthy reinterpretation of Keith Haring’s renowned 1980s mural that once graced the Houston-Bowery wall in NYC.

"Mother Earth" captures LoBue's effortless creativity, recorded on a whim at her art desk. It's a chilled-out vibe that draws you back into FOA's world in the coolest way possible.

Collaborating once again with psych-rock enigma, Brother JT (Thrill Jockey) to make the video for “Mother Earth”, LoBue also joined forces with creative photographer Beth Chucker, who shot the single’s cover photo and contributed stills to Brother JT’s video. Welcome to a new chapter.
