UK indie folks duo Flyte have spent this 12 months rolling out their upcoming fourth LP, Between You and Me, releasing a gradual string of recent singles together with “I’m So Down,” “Damage Folks,” “Emily and Me,” and “I’m Not There.” The report follows their 2023 self-titled report and finds the pair chasing after a extra intuitive writing strategy, guided by producer Ethan Johns (Paul McCartney, Laura Marling, Ray LaMontagne) and adorned with homespun preparations and weak lyricism. Immediately, the band are sharing one other new single from the report, “Alabaster,” premiering with Underneath the Radar.

Prior to now, Flyte have collaborated on duets with Laura Marling, Madison Cunningham, and Billie Marten. In the same vein, “Alabaster” finds them working with legendary singer/songwriter Aimee Mann. Nonetheless, not like the affected person romantic heat of “Robust Love”一 the band’s latest duet with Laura Marling一”Alabaster” comes laden with a weighty rock ingredient and an undercurrent of smoky drama. The band’s usually feather-light acoustics are anchored by simmering fuzz guitar and distinguished basslines as Mann gives a wounded counterpoint to Nick Hill and Will Taylor’s ethereal vocal harmonies. The outcomes are impassioned and bittersweet, ultimately flaming out in an incandescent guitar solo. In the meantime, the lyrics discover a love affair that’s doomed to implode, however seemingly inconceivable to cease: “‘Trigger we’re already right here / And it’s occurring / The injuries are unfastening / It’s a pure catastrophe / Alabaster.”

Taylor says of the observe, We started writing Alabaster with Miya Folick in Los Angeles a couple of fantasy affair within the midst of an apocalypse. We completed it on the highway and again residence in London. It’s simple to really feel like we’re within the midst of the top occasions already, so it was efficient inspiration and inspired the raging fuzz guitar sound to paved the way musically. We needed it to sound just like the music was burning down.”

“Once we got here to report it, we felt it wanted to be a dialogue between two singers, very similar to with Laura Marling on the music ‘Robust Love’ from our earlier report. Aimee Mann is an artist we grew up listening to and is a real L.A. legend, so it made good sense. It was a surreal honour listening to the voice of Magnolia, considered one of our favorite movies, ripping by a Flyte observe.”
