Count Florida is an indie pop band from Glasgow UK who sing catchy songs about queer love and heartbreak, aches and pains generally, and their home town.

The band is Mel (she) on guitar and singing, Isobel (she/they) on bass and Argo (they) on drums. They all write songs and are three friends who have shared bands (notably The Hermit Crabs, Matinee Records) and flats and songs going back years.

Their debut single "Hot Things/Blake" is a double A side with songs about being trapped in your home when you should be, ahem, dating, and an ode to Mel's rock star pin up Blake Schwarzenbach. Steven Pastel told Isobel the single is "super likeable" so the band will now die happy. Debut album set for release autumn 2021.

Comprised of members; Brendan Lyle, Jake Brown and James Redfern, the art-pop group strive to make unique, heartfelt and genre-less music.

Now releasing music after years of bonding (mastered by Josh Bonati: Mac DeMarco, Sufjan Stevens) 'Comfort' is the first single from their upcoming debut EP. What started off as a demo to grieve a lost love, transcended to their self-titled debut single. Drifting like a river stream - easeful drumbeats, rich pads and a backdrop of reverb coated synth hooks provide a warm sentiment to Brendan’s effervescent vocal work.

This song is a way to let go of pain, to release something into the wild and cast all negative energy aside, whilst also hopefully affecting people in a profound and exciting way.

"'Comfort' is courageous in its delivery and sticking to no genre, Comfort have made an exciting emergence with this debut." (Music-News)

"A dreamy track that swims under a bed of lush synth swells and floating vocal... revealing a lavish and intricate delivery of alternative sounds." (It's All Indie)

Their second single, 'Pass Me The Syrup' is a tantalising blend of Talking Heads-esque art-pop and synth-pop. A song to counter the dream-like melancholy of 'Comfort', the song is intended to be a way to let yourself go and freak out on the dance-floor, without a care in the world.

"... it seems the band are really in their lane of their own with their eclectic sound and style." (Louder Than War)
