Flight

Echoes Of Journeys Past

To call Norways FLIGHT "retro" or "vintage" is to miss the point. Since their formation in 2012, the band have walked the fine line between effortless and studious - a throwback to 70s proto-metal, sure, but done with such vigor and authenticity that even the most skeptical listener would be helpless to resist being whisked away some four decades into the past. Simply, their music exists in that same vacuum when ROCK conquered all. FLIGHT bring the past into the present and write understated-yet-invigorating rockers that draw from a very rich (and idiosyncratic) history. To date, the bands two full-length records mark specific periods of their patient oeuvre: 2015s rough n ready self-titled debut and 2018s sci-fi-themed A Leap Through Matter. Now, FLIGHT continue that patient ascent with LP #3, Echoes of Journeys Past. Presciently titled, Echoes of Journeys Past indeed steps deeper into that mythical, muddied past where genre delineations had yet to be created - and, more so, when "rocking out" was fully based on feel. Retaining that tasteful kinda-clean guitar tone that paradoxically allows their intrinsic grit to hit that much harder, FLIGHT seek a moodier batch of songs that dart in dazzling directions. Each ones based on a brisk, but-never-rushed pace, and each winds back and forth between hook and lead, rocking and reeling.
