Bio:
"The Night Flight Orchestra" started like so many others as an innocent yet serious drunken idea when Björn Strid (Soilwork) and David Andersson (Mean Streak, session Soilwork) were on the road together somewhere in North America in 2007. Björn and David were bonding over what they considered "classic" or not, from rock n roll conspiracies to being arrested in a lobby with nothing but leather pants on. All those scenarios, fictional or real, needed a soundtrack. They also came to think that whether you're on a metal tour or not, a lot of classic rock songs say it all and can really lend you a helping hand and make you forget about everything, especially when in motion or travelling. The classic escape. The never-ending road trip. The transatlantic night flight. It may sound simple and naive but what it all comes down to is that we all need that soundtrack to feel extra special, whether you have been arrested in a lobby or not. It didn't take long before bass player Sharlee D' Angelo (Arch Enemy, Spiritual Beggars) joined forces as well as keyboard player Richard Larsson (Von Benzo) and drummer Jonas Källsbäck (Mean Streak). The goal was to reclaim the 70's/early 80's sense for classic melody, the forgotten recipe to a timeless song, preferably a song mentioning a city, street name or an exhilarating alcoholic beverage. Anything that will have you spitting out the word 'classic'. From "Tarot Woman" to "Badlands", from "Rhiannon" to "Running on Empty", from "Blind Man" to "Night Moves", from "Deuce" to "Separate Ways", from "Elected" to "Set me Free". The list goes on. It's all about reclaiming the "classic".
Album:
Founded by Björn Strid (Soilwork), David Andersson (Soilwork) and Sharlee D' Angelo (Arch Enemy), THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA surprised us with their great debut CD three years ago, presented here on the blog.Despite its members Metal origins, The Night Flight Orchestra is a pure classic rock project which has a new album entitled "Skyline Whispers" that will be released on June 9th, 2015, via Coroner Records.The goal here is to reclaim the late '70s / early '80s sense for classic melody, the forgotten recipe to a timeless song.There's many tributes in the way the songs are composed, arranged and executed, taking the curves very nice with a hard rockin' swing. Björn has a great voice, and here he really blossom, no growl, just a voice that is incredibly powerful and plenty of colors."Sail On" opens in full late seventies fashion with vintage Hammond organs, a blasting bass line, candy-floss pianos and traditional hard rock guitars. A racing mix of Thin Lizzy, Wishbone Ash and Deep Purple all together.Then "Living for the Nighttime" is just infectious. A Kiss guitar riff circa Dynasty over a a melody that will have you bobbing your head and tapping your feet. This has summer time jam all over it.There's more like this yet more early '80s L.A. injected "I Ain't Old, I Ain't Young", almost AOR in its foundation.Björn's vocals really shine on the ELO sounding "Stiletto" that really balances between the guitar, the catchy keyboards and the bouncy rhythm section."Lady Jade" is inspired by some seventies hard rock psych, "All the Ladies" is driven by a breezy, poppy melody, while "Demon Princess" returns to a mysterious hard rock groove."The Heather Reports" ends the album via a true 'tour de force' blending hard rock, progressive, jazz rock, some Santana-like fusion, etc, all into a stupendous jam.At this point, The Night Flight Orchestra is much more than a side project for these metallers. If you are new to them, there's not a single heavy metal riff or song structure here on their new album "Skyline Whispers".Call it Classic Rock if you want, but the guys mix much more than traditional hard rock here; there's disco, psych, R&B, pop and as said, a Californian touch very close to late seventies AOR / FM rock.All is done with an extreme professionalism, attention to detail, and cleverly produced / mixed sounding retro yet powerful and up-to-date.Don't miss this one: very, very interesting.
