Based out of London, Niteflights make joyous indie pop that practically commands you to get on your feet and dance. With several demos and many gigs under their belt, these four young lads (Adam, Sam, James and Alex) seem to have found just the right balance between scratchy guitars, playful melodies, pop synths and bouncy beats. Niteflights - I'm Glad You're Here "I'm Glad You're Here" is taken off their latest self-released EP (available on SoundCloud ) and it is arguably their strongest track to date. At first sight, [...]
Not so long ago we posted London band Niteflights cover of John Cale's Paris 1919 and they are now offering out a free 3 track EP for download. The EP has actually come about accidentally, as with a new single in the pipeline, they were demo-ing material on 'holiday' in a friends' bungalow in Fife over Christmas. Professing to be " really happy with a lot of the songs, and think the recordings have a nice feel to them. We think they're like beautiful, well developed wee foetuses (but alt-pop foetuses with lots of [...]
It's pretty easy at times to pass over some of the emails that we get day in and day out but when a musician admits to using our website for conquests of a more intimate nature then that musician deserves some space here. That certain musician in question is one James Johnstone from the UK band Niteflights. One thing I like to do is write down the names of artists from your tMiM posts and then chat people up by repeating them. So far it's had a 99.7% success rate, although an underhanded method it has [...]

This is a band called Niteflights. I have to apologise at this point, because they sent me their stuff ages ago and I've only just really started listening to it. I saw it on my phone and was curious. Well, I'm happy about the way things ended up. This Kilburn-based band use guitars that sound lifted out of a Bowie or Orange Juice record, with some 8 bit programming over the top. Vocally the lead singer sounds a bit like Alec Ounsworth of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - it's got that slight fragility which makes it quite accessible. They [...]
![[Introducing] – Niteflights](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4014025_lg.jpg)
Tweet With a fresh, exhuberant sound, Niteflights are guaranteed to get your 2012 kicking right into gear. My first exposure to them was when they shared their brilliant cover of John Cale 's "Paris 1919 ", and was instantly pleased with what I heard. For me, the true test of a great cover is when someone can take a song and make it their own, which Niteflights are able to do while still staying true to the original. [...]

Named after a Walker Brothers’ album, residing in Kilburn, with origins in darkest Lancashire, Niteflights have drawn comparisons to the likes of Orange Juice, Metronomy and Mystery Jets . With their songs rooted in the “indie” and/or “pop” tag, Niteflights set out to create something that bulldozes past these walls and builds, in their place, a captivating and dynamic sound that will leave you tapping your shoes and scratching your beard like Joaquin Phoenix in a Broadway musical. New single Marnie is exuberant and infectious and out [...]

Before I watched the video I thought it will be some 80s italo disco tune (judging on the thumbnail) but here it is, sweet indie pop taste. London's Niteflights debut single entitled "Marnie" will be released August 8.
Photo by Ella Nash Niteflights are a band from London that attract and charm with the infectious sound of indie pop and ensnare with the twisting, sharp rhythms and arrangements of post-punk. The band draws their name from the Walker Brothers' great, dark beauty of a final album, 1978's Nite Flights . Although the band's music doesn't actually contain any of the dark undertones of their namesake, Niteflights certainly shares a bit of the urgency found in album tracks "Shutout" and "Fat Mama Kick." There's an interesting balance [...]
The band, Nightflights , is out of Lancashire in the northwest of England, and currently call the Kilburn neighborhood of London, home. The band is unsigned, but have several demos to their name. There is nothing overly ostentatious about Nightflights. They play straight forward indie pop driven by simple melodies, strong songwriting, and clever musical accoutrements. It works well, as these demos show a lot of promise. Nightflights are currently working on new material in their north London practice space. For now... Check out: Coney Island,1912 [mp3] [...]

Eugh. It's Sunday, it's work tomorrow and I'm tired and capable only drinking tea and reading old newspapers. What I need here is some quiet, quirky alt-pop that I'll hum along to while patting my thigh, that surprises and impresses, but subtly, not in a drink-droppingly dramatic way. What I need is Kilburn's Niteflights . Marnie - Niteflights by niteflightsmusic Coney Island 1912 -Niteflights by niteflightsmusic [There is a video that cannot be displayed in this [...]
