If you’re sleeping on The Night Flight Orchestra, it’s time to wake up! They are set to release their cinematic seventh studio album and Napalm Records debut, Give Us The Moon, on January 31, 2025! Founded in 2007 by members of high-profile bands such as Soilwork, Arch Enemy and Mean Streak, over the years THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA have been nominated three times for the Swedish Grammis, gathering millions of streams via their hits.
I spent my morning listening to their upcoming album and I am sold. More than any musical genre, I love music that is FUN, that brings you JOY and energy. I’ve outgrown my edgy teenager and now mostly look for music that sparks something good. And if it’s a rock album that makes me want to dance, they get all the brownie points.
The opening track, “Stratus” won me over instantly. I was listening to it just out of curiosity, not thinking I wanted to do a review, but now you are reading one, so it was that good. A proper anthem and statement of the band.
The album is also diverse. Tracks like “Like The Beating Of A Heart” bring back the good ol’ 80s synth and groovy bass. “Melbourne, May I?” gives me Journey vibes. “Miraculous” is a bit more focused on the vocal lines. You get emotional songs like “Paloma”, but still just as funky. The title track “Give Us The Moon” encompassed the whole album, giving a good mix of vocals and fun instrumentals, it has that chorus that will stick to your brain, it has a beat you can dance to. Shout-out to the closing track “Stewardess, Empress, Hot Mess (And The Captain Of Pain)”, not just for the cool name, but for ending the album on a high note, full of funky energy.
I’ve started my day well after listening to this album, I feel pumped and energized. It might also be the coffee I’m drinking :)) Either way, I really recommend it.
What a shame I don’t get to see them on this upcoming tour that is about to start.
