It's referencing a personal tragedy – the addiction and loss of someone very close to me, but it's not a project of catharsis – I chose to submit myself to this experience because I wanted to create from inside it, rather than explaining it. I've tried to borrow from my own grief to create its inverse: something joyous. Something beyond myself, something fantastic - something new. It's the most personal I've ever been, but also the most confident. This album is a force." Reception Carley Hall from The Music AU said the album "Where er debut albumpleased with angular, resonant guitars amid uncomplicated, upbeat motifs and musings on relationships and everyday curveballs in life, ''Flamingo'' adds a little more lacquer by slightly glossing over these elements.
