Flyte is the project of English songwriters Will Taylor and Nick Hill. The pair met at secondary school, eventually settling in Hackney, London. Taylor’s parents were both English teachers and inevitably, various literary influences trickled into the duo’s music- the band taking it’s name from Sebastian Flyte of Evelyn Waugh’s Brideshead Revisited.
After the release of two critically acclaimed albums, they have established themselves as an influential mainstay.

We began writing Albaster with an artist called @MiyaFolick in Los Angeles about a fantasy affair in the midst of an apocalypse. We finished it on the road and back home in London. It’s easy to feel like we’re in the midst of the end times already, so it was easy enough place to shoot from.
When we came to record it we felt it needed to be a dialogue between two singers much like with Laura Marling on the song Tough Love from our previous record. @aimeemann is an artist we grew up listening to and is a true LA legend, so it made perfect sense. It was a surreal honour hearing the voice of Magnolia, one of our favourite films, beaming into the Flyte world.

I'm So Down (Official Live Video)
A few weeks ago we visited our old pal Dominic Monklefish at our favourite studio in Frome to record four live videos of songs from the upcoming Flyte album. The first instalment, ‘I’m So Down’ is available now. Ethan Johns, the producer and extra performer on the album, lends some splendid hand drumming. Dom and Milo capture the sound beautifully and Six Eyes with an eye in the sky from Aidan Cochrane film, edit and grade like clever legends.

An item of significance
We’ve been giving you lots of music of late and being the useless salesmen that we are, we have neglected to tell you that you can physically purchase said music in advance from us now. Musician hat removed, salesman hat on. Step right up.
There’s a glimmering and ultimately rare thing you can procure. It’s the special edition vinyl of our upcoming album ‘Between You And Me’.
What makes this the shiny Charizard that it is, is firstly there just aren’t that many being made, only 750 copies to be precise. Secondly, there will be a clear vinyl, mirroring the spirit on the cover, a gatefold with the big, beautiful photograph of the hands on the staircase and finally a picture booklet with lyrics and artwork, all put together by our genius artistic director Aidan Cochrane.
How’s that for a hard sell?

We write to you on a Friday morning with news of a song. The song is from the album coming later this summer. We are slowly building, do you see that we are building? In this day and age it is best to gently surge.
‘I’m So Down’ is the title, and don’t worry, it’s meant to read as ‘I’m up for it’; there’s only the slightest hint of the other way of reading it smuggled in there. It serves as an ode to the co-dependent people pleaser. The melody and the lope are intended to serve the YES of the sentiment.

The book was our labour of love over lockdown. There are typewriter-written transcripts of phone calls to producers, chord charts, photographs, scans from early lyrics in old notebooks. Hopefully, this will be an insight into our process that people haven’t seen before
