FLYTE   RELEASE THIRD ALBUM FLYTE OUT NOW   FEATURING BILLIE MARTEN, LAURA MARLING AND PRODUCED BY GRAMMY NOMINATED ANDREW SARLO     COLLABORATION WITH OSCAR AND BAFTA-NOMINATED ACTOR FLORENCE PUGH ON “TOUGH LOVE” OUT NOW   ON 21-DATE NORTH AMERICAN TOUR

October 27, 2023 -- From the top of Primrose Hill last week, over 100 fans gathered for an intimate listening session to hear Flyte’s sublime third album, the self-titled Flyte, out today. Following a map Flyte created to unlock performances and songs that have meant something to the duo along the road, from the Southbank to Hackney, Flyte is the tender amalgamation of Will Taylor and Nick Hill’s decade writing music together, touring the globe, but always returning home to their loved ones. Where The Loved Ones left off - their critically acclaimed debut that captured tortured love through literary characters, to the brutal end of a relationship in 2021’s This Is Really Going To Hurt - Flyte portrays the messy days and evenings of a long-term relationship, growing up and the everyday responsibility of love and building a home, written across the living room at singer songwriter Billie Marten, Will partner. The 11-track album was recorded over 10 days at London’s Konk Studios with Andrew Sarlo (Big Thief, Bon Iver) and engineer Dom Monks, featuring Billie Marten on “Don’t Forget About Us” and Laura Marling on “Tough Love”.    LISTEN TO FLYTE   Having recently collaborated with Oscar and Bafta-nominated actor and fan Florence Pugh on a stripped-down live version of their BBC Radio 6 playlisted "Tough Love", which has obtained over 3 million views and widespread acclaim since its release, Will and Nick continually inspire musicianship on and off stage. Flyte have welcomed everyone from Bombay Bicycle Club, to Holly Humberstone, The Staves and Mystery Jets to perform alongside them, whilst the duo are regarded as one of the UK’s greatest lyrical talents, penning songs with artists including Sigrid, Madison Cunningham, Miya Folick, Courtney Marie Andrews and poet Simon Armitage.    WATCH ‘TOUGH LOVE’ FEATURING FLORENCE PUGH   Their third studio album also features “Even On Bad Days”, a song that encapsulates the band's endeavour to write “a realistic wedding vow”, being there for your partner even on bad days,  whilst “Speech Bubble” signifies that this record will be “the dock leaf to the nettle of the last one”. Already reaching just under 1M views on Instagram Reels for the self-directed official video, “Speech Bubble” asserts, Heartbreak, it takes practice, and I think I'm getting better at this, with backing vocals from Will’s partner and collaborator Billie. You can watch how the record was created with their official studio documentary, the band documenting every part of the studio process over 10 days.    LISTEN TO ‘EVEN ON BAD DAYS’   WATCH SPEECH BUBBLE   WATCH STUDIO DOCUMENTARY HERE WATCH TOUGH LOVE FEATURING FLORENCE PUGH

FLYTE IN THE PRESS…   “'Tough Love,' make Florence Pugh exclaim, 'Oh, my God' because of the way the duo lets their voices descend in harmony..." – Rolling Stone   "...a steadily chugging but understated indie-pop tune that smartly intensifies near the end..." – Stereogum   "...a rockin' little indie folk-rock track... good performance, good vocal chemistry..." – the Needle Drop   "The song snaps with electronic percussion and looping piano under confessional lyrics." – BrooklynVegan   "...A truly magical and unique moment between Flyte and actor Florence Pugh..."  – American Songwriter   “Flyte’s self-titled output is a classic folk-rock showcase of beautiful musical pieces cultivated from tranquillity and introspection” -- Line Of Best Fit    "With their self-titled third album, Flyte have delivered a love letter. An intimate world of adoration and the rush of falling, Flyte is written with crystalline vocals and stunningly intricate guitars.” -- DORK    "Their third album welcomes new sounds, a slew of collaborators who are trailblazing their way through the industry right now, and a new intimacy never seen before from the band’s storytelling." – Atwood Magazine   “Tough Love finds the band once again inhabiting a bright and charming mode, guided by some breezy guitar work and dreamy percussion. Laura Marling joins for the second verse, her gorgeous vocals locking into wistful harmonies with Will Taylor and Nick Hill."  – Under the Radar
