Flyte – Have Announced an Irish Tour

To make their fourth album, Between You and Me, Flyte – Will Taylor and Nick Hill – set out to return to something raw and instinctual. Just weeks before joining legendary producer Ethan Johns (Paul McCartney, Laura Marling, Ray LaMontagne) in his rural studio, the duo began writing at a small window table in Taylor’s North East London flat. They wanted to see what would happen if they didn’t overthink their songs, if they simply sang about their lives in the moment; candid reflections on love, fallibility, and staying vulnerable. They didn’t fuss over demos or arrangements; they just wanted to capture the feelings.

They knew Johns thrived on intuition, so they let that sensibility guide them from the beginning. Between You And Me, is the most affecting and singular album in Flyte’s discography, a stirring and recognisable map of what it means to come of age as musicians, friends, and people. It suggests just how much one can grow, sprouting even from the darker corners of our existence. Taylor and Hill have long aimed to make Flyte records feel emotionally complete, but Between You and Me doesn’t just check boxes – it feels lived in, like a series of diary entries set to harmony.

These songs don’t just reflect who Flyte are now – they capture how they got here, moment by moment, with every chord and lyric a testament to trust, growth, and real-time reckoning. After the success of their 2023 self-titled album, Flyte, the band has become known for their “vocal chemistry” (The Needle Drop), “their voices descend in harmony” (Rolling Stone), as well as developing a tight-knit circle of creatives. Past collaborations include Laura Marling, Billie Marten, Madison Cunningham, Bombay Bicycle Club, The Staves, and Florence Pugh, as well as making fans of high-profile artists like Sigrid, Holly Humberstone, and more.
