Gustaffson have today released their hauntingly beautiful new single ‘Flowers’, featuring Emmy-winning composer Bear McCreary (Outlander, Walking Dead). Listen here. The track is accompanied by an official music video..
Liverpool-born singer and songwriter Andrew Gower formed Gustaffson in 2020 with lifelong friend and guitarist James Webster. Though best known for his acting roles in acclaimed TV shows such as Black Mirror, Outlander, and Carnival Row, Gower has been writing music since the age of 15.
Speaking on the latest release, Andrew said: “Flowers is about exploring the extraordinary in the ordinary. The day to day gesture of buying flowers for any occasion: from heartbreaking loss, to the innocence of young love. Just like the actual flower, the pain or love can either grow stronger or eventually pass way. The song builds from the simplicity of voice & piano before moving into the filmic string orchestra McCreary composed. It all started with a lyric ‘old flowers from the funeral what do I do with you today? You were new last week and I’ve got to throw you away’.”
Flowers is the second of three exclusive singles from Gustaffson’s debut album ‘Black & White Movie’, it follows the beautifully soulful ‘On Broadway’. Listen here. The album, out on 15th March 2025, is produced by Elbow’s Craig Potter and features collaborations with Emmy-winning composer Bear McCreary and legendary actor Sir Ben Kingsley.
Gustaffson’s debut album: where music and film converge to tell extraordinary tales of ordinary lives. With 13 tracks that serve as individual cinematic experiences, Andrew Gower’s poignant lyrics, honed over 15 years as an actor, shines light & darkness on the duality of human existence. Seamlessly blending the iconic sounds of both music and film industries, this album invites listeners on a journey where every track is a movie in its own right. Gustaffson are excited to present this original vintage record in a modern algorithmic world.
