From a View, the 2020 debut album from Melbourne quintet Floodlights, is widely regarded as a standout entry in the modern Australian indie rock canon. The record captures a "shambolic yet catchy" sound that blends 80s indie-rock with 90s New Zealand jangle-pop. The album is defined by its "Outback dry" guitar work and the laconic, droll vocal delivery of Louis Parsons, which critics have compared to Lou Reed. It leans heavily into "dolewave" and jangle-pop aesthetics, drawing frequent comparisons to The Go-Betweens, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, and Courtney Barnett.
