The Night Flight Orchestra Release New Single 'Impossible'

Enjoying the last warm sunrays of late September, The Night Flight Orchestra comforts you with a late summer anthem to extend the ease and joy of that season. The band states: "Some bands might get depressed when the summer ends and the darkness is coming closer. But not The Night Flight Orchestra. Instead, they choose to celebrate the summers that were, the summers that might never come again, but will always be with you, like a tiny sprinkle of Champagne to thaw your frost-bitten heart.”

‘Impossible’ is a song for all the hopeless romantics who are hanging on by a thread to the memories of their vivid summer escapades, hoping that it will help them survive the approaching winter.

The b-side is a cover of ‘Reach Out’ by Cheap Trick, and everything except the lead vocals and drums were recorded on tour, on tour buses and backstage rooms throughout Europe, before they had to head home because the borders were starting to close down.

“But this is our love letter to you, from The Night Flight Orchestra, hoping that you’ll be with us through the rough winter months coming up.”

 

 

Tune-Yards Going 'Nowhere, Man'

Tune-Yards releases their new song 'nowhere, man'. The bright, brash and upbeat song is paired with a lively video that takes Chaplin-esque footage shot in Merrill Garbus and Nate Brenner's garage during quarantine and brings them to life alongside stop motion animation by Japhy Riddle and Callie Day. The song title references the Beatles song and is a referendum on how far society has or has not come based on whose stories are told, celebrate and elevated.

Of the video Garbus says, "The song and the video for 'nowhere, man' were created under conditions of feeling squeezed and pushed to the brink - relatively, of course. I wanted to ask, 'How loudly do I have to shout and sing before I'm heard?' And the video asks, too, 'What am I not hearing?' We hope the music brings energy and a strong wind of encouragement to those who are shouting and singing loudly for justice right now."

'nowhere, man' follows the release of Tune-Yards' 2018 fourth album I Can Feel You Creep Into My Private Life. Exploring Garbus's place in the world, the album ruminated on race, politics, intersectional feminism and the environment, and was called "dance-pop at its most polyglot and polemical," by the Sunday Times, "bright, vital and surprising," (Gay Times) and "an entertainingly disruptive blast of a record with a mirrorball lure." (Uncut). That same year, Tune-Yards scored Boots Riley's film Sorry To Bother You and released a critically acclaimed song 'Mango' with actor Lakeith Stanfield's musical Moors.
