French for Rabbits share 'Gold and Blue' on cusp of Winter Tour

Dream-pop luminaries French for Rabbits return to the stage in full band formation for the first time in a year to celebrate psychedelic new single ‘Gold and Blue’ on a five date tour around Aotearoa.


‘Gold and Blue’ was written not long before the arrival of vocalist and songwriter Brooke Singer’s now 10-month old son in a prolific period for the songwriter (her other collaborations from that time include Aotearoa Music Award nominated Kaylee Bell single ‘Cowboy Up’). 


The song is fittingly being released just ahead of Matariki, as it meditates on future transformation with gold and blue symbolising creative intuition, the mystery, intuition and grasping of the thread. As the song unfurls into a psychedelic dreamscape, it rings with the promise of giving without the need of any return.


French for Rabbits are known for their profoundly beautiful, ethereal dream-pop music and have toured internationally in Europe and the US. 


This stand alone single will be supported by a string of shows and a music video by longtime collaborators, director Martin Sagadin (Aldous Harding, Marlon Willaims, Nadia Reid) and cinematographer Bill Bycroft. The song was co-written by Brooke Singer, Georgia Lines and Jol Mulholland (who also produced and engineered) during an APRA songhubs curated by NZ pop legend Brooke Fraser in 2024, and mastered in Chicago by Carl Saff. 


“For the video, we wanted to throw the listener through time and space, feel a gasp for breath as they tumble them through the present and past to moments of change, connection, and fluctuation”
