Perth’s Ellen May delivers a wave of early-2000s nostalgia with Flowerbed, a new single that blends emo vulnerability with pop-punk clarity. Built on shimmering guitars, confessional lyrics, and a chorus that hits like a memory, the track feels like a throwback and a fresh start all at once.
Self-produced and mastered by Kyle Black (Paramore, State Champs), Flowerbed channels the emotional honesty of bands like The Starting Line and Avril Lavigne-era angst with a modern polish. Clocking in just over three minutes, it’s tightly structured and emotionally expansive—shifting between tension and release with ease.
Already making waves in Australia’s indie punk scene, Ellen May continues to build momentum following recent accolades and steady rotation on DIY playlists. Flowerbed feels like the kind of track that doesn’t just revive a sound—it reclaims it with purpose and heart.
