“We began writing Alabaster with Miya Folick 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 effective inspiration and encouraged the raging fuzz guitar sound to lead the way musically. We wanted it to sound like the song was burning down,” Flyte’s Will Taylor says.
“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. Aimee Mann is an artist we grew up listening to and is a true L.A. legend, so it made perfect sense. It was a surreal honour hearing the voice of Magnolia, one of our favourite films, ripping through a Flyte track,” he adds.
Between You and Me, is the follow-up to their 2023 self-titled album, and will feature recently released singles, "I'm So Down", "Hurt People", "Emily and Me" and "I’m Not There".
