Flyte

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. The Loved Ones (2017) recorded with Burke Reid (Julia Jacklin, Courtney Barnett) in the

Australian outback, explored the ways in which people struggle to process love. The albums’ crafted

storytelling and ambitious, harmonic arrangements earned it the title ‘Best British debut of the year’ from

the Sunday Times.

Second album ‘This Is Really Going To Hurt’ (2021), took them out to Los Angeles to work with collaborator

Andrew Sarlo (Big Thief, Bon Iver). Seeing the sound move into a more simplistic and confessional mode,

focusing entirely on the aftermath of relationships ending.

After extensive touring of Europe and North America, Flyte have teamed back up with Andrew Sarlo, this

time at London’s famous Konk Studios, to record their most confident and collaborative work to date. The

latest self titled album, inspired by Taylor’s relationship with partner and artist Billie Marten, explores love in

all its early forms and features artists such as Laura Marling, Bombay Bicycle Club and M Field.
