Biography:
The Flats (not to be confused with Flats from the UK) are a Singapore based duo. Consisting of Clement (programming, all instruments) and Redmund (vocals), they write and produce songs to reflect their place geographically at the cross-roads of East and West. Drawing from an eclectic mix of influences ranging from David Sylvian, Sakamoto, Roddy Frame, Galaxie 500, Pink Floyd, Simian Ghost, Memphis, Antonio Carlos Jobim and Prefab Sprout, the pair try to infuse their songs with an identity that shows their Singaporean identity.

[Verse]
G F#
I am drawn to the waves.

To sweep the glass away.

Into the islands of the lost.

I am out drinking away.
Em
Let the holy asylum be saved.
D
In the memory of my love.

I drown in these city lights, maybe they won't drown you.

I laid my head in the open fire.

I'm burning all around you.

In the spiraling shades of grey.

From a night of fun with the boys.
G F#
And I hear the voice and the sputtering sounds.
Em
And the echo of my soul all around.
D
We can run or melt into the ground.
D
Or house "the hollows" in doubt.
