Tune In: Flyte - Please Eloise

Howdy! I’d like to introduce a brand new feature where I bestow upon you my favourite new (and occasionally old) bangers that are currently occupying my fragile little headspace. I hope to update this as much as possible so the blog always has some semblance of fresh content. Here goes nothing…

First up, and the inaugural Tune In, is *drumroll please* Flyte with their latest effort, Please Eloise. These four whippersnappers, hailing from old London town, are still an unknown quantity in most parts – with only a handful of singles to their name. However, this track could well be a game changer. And in the cold winter months to follow, this tune is a welcome ray of effervescent sunshine.

While the verse is resplendent with glorious harmonies and tropical guitar licks, it’s the sugar-rush of a chorus where Flyte really hit it out the park. And this Eloise must be one hell of a lass, with jilted frontman Will Taylor repeatedly yearning for a bit of reciprocal loving. If he keeps this up, a restraining order may well be issued.

Though some may consider the tune a little kitschy, for me it’s a slice pop perfection – evoking the carefree, afro-beat stylings of an early Vampire Weekend. So it’s really no surprise these lads have already been enlisted as tour supports for huge names like Bombay Bicycle Club. And if Flyte continue to build up a head of steam on the hype machine, Please Eloise will undoubtedly be a staple of next year’s festival circuit.
