ANDREW MCMAHON // Announces Release of Third Album ‘Upside Down Flowers’

Andrew McMahon In The Wilderness has announced the release of third full length album, Upside Down Flowers, available worldwide on 16th November via Fantasy Records / Caroline Australia. Watch the new single Teenage Rockstar below.

The album was produced by Butch Walker (Pink, Weezer, Panic! At The Disco) who also plays drums, bass and guitar. It also features guest keyboardist Roger Joseph Manning, Jr. (Beck), with strings arranged by Emmy-winning, Tony & Grammy nominated composer Rob Mathes.

The album itself was recorded at the legendary Abbey Road Studios.

According to a statement, “Upside Down Flowers’ 11 songs are slice-of-life vignettes animated by McMahon’s vivid lyrics and dynamic melodies. The songs and concept are fully realised while retaining a vivid sense of both the natural and unnatural, including Upside Down Flowers’ album cover—an iconic ‘60s-’70s SoCal pool scene with twist (inspired by jet-set photographer Slim Aarons.)”

“I have so much emotion wrapped up in this album,” states McMahon, “Upside Down Flowers is a version of real and surreal Southern California that surrounds me physically and emotionally.”

Upside Down Flowers is the follow up to 2017’s Zombies on Broadway which featured Top 5 alternative singles Fire Escape and So Close, as well as a world tour encompassing Australia.

McMahon began In The Wilderness in 2014. He previously co-founded Something Corporate and played in Jack’s Mannequin. He earned an Emmy Award nomination in 2013 for composing music for the NBC series Smash.

Upside Down Flowers is available for pre-order now.
