Night Flight have released their new EP, ‘Songs From Echo Zoo’, which includes the critically acclaimed singles ‘Dreaming’, ‘Canada’ and new single ‘Something Going On’. The London four-piece have also announced a October UK tour, including dates in London, Manchester, Glasgow, Cardiff, Sheffield, Newcastle, Bristol and Brighton.
‘Songs From Echo Zoo’ is a rich collection of tracks. From the jubilant jangle of ‘Dreaming’ to the folk drizzled warmth of ‘California’, the band creates lush and well layered songs that glide through psychedelic tones with elements of pop, folk and indie thrown into the mix. ‘Canada’ exudes a dreamy soundscape that is greatly enhanced by the bands use of supple bass, twinkling keys and psychedelic tones on guitar. Sam Holmes’s croons softly over a mellow melody as he pines wistfully for Canada, “I hate what you do to me. I find it so hard to leave. I’m head over heels in this country… O Canada”.
The crisp production within ‘Songs From Echo Zoo’ highlights the tender emotion rippling through the vocals while the intricate soundscapes chime with a dynamic and deliberate suspense throughout. However it’s the dark and blues-hued ‘Something Going On’ that shows the true versatility within this band’s sound. Filled with deep pulsing synths and distortion the song simmers with aggressive undertones. The blending of musical elements within this track is a thrilling assault on the senses.
‘Songs From Echo Zoo’ is a mature and impressive body of work that showcases the compelling musicianship of Night Flight. Each track is deftly layered with hidden gems revealed on each subsequent listen that leaves much to be admired.
