Presenting…Niteflights
Niteflights are a London fourpiece - or so their website says, though it does not reveal who. Digging deeper, on Facebook, it says they are Adam Hartley, Sam Hayward, James Johnston and Alex Deery.
They make music which seems to be at the point where post-punkers got into making pop music (think orange Juice and Scritti Politti) fused with the likes of Metronomy or Phonix. This is a GOOD thing. Listen to debut single ‘Marnie’ to hear these two influences playing off against each other rather well.
They have just released a free, three-track EP, which you can download from below. My favourite track of the three is ‘Emily (It’s Easy)’ but why not give all three a listen and see which one your favourite is?
There’s a video for the title track:
They have recorded a cover of John Cale’s ‘Paris 1919′ which sounds vastly different from the original, which all good covers should do.
…so what do you think?
This is some really good stuff. Bouncy but with an undercurrent of sadness. Thanks for putting this up.
No worries!
Good to hear from you, hope all well with you and yours.
Best new music so far this year…and free! Thanks for the introduction,Ed
