Boston indie-pop troupe (and eternal AP faves) Pushflowers are back after a long absence and we’re delighted to report they haven’t missed a beat. Fresh off their return to the stage last Thursday night at Notch Brighton, Pushflowers are dropping their first new track since 2019 right here at Allston Pudding. “Peak” is a neat summation of everything that makes them special: pulsing keyboard loops, snappy drums drawing out a midpoint between indie rock and dance music, and a soaring chorus that cuts right through the noise. In other words, it’s an airtight pop song from a group that sounds right at home on trhe big stage and on the floor of a brewery. Recorded at perennial hit factory Big Nice Studios, “Peak” is just the first taste of a steady stream of new tunes from the always effervescent four piece.

The band had this to say about the new track:

“We started our musical relationship bonding over our shared love of pop music. Over the past few years pop has been our form of escapism in late night home dance parties and blasting music outside in empty fields. We wanted to make music that reflects the high of finally spending an evening together.”
