Analysis | Night Flight 35
The 5 Most Forward-Thinking Tracks!

1. Clipz ft. Stush – Tell Them
A blistering fusion of jungle, grime, and bass music, this track is a masterclass in high-energy club futurism. Stush’s razor-sharp flow cuts through Clipz’s kinetic production, making it a boundary-pushing anthem for the underground.

2. 21 Savage ft. $uicideboy$ – Demons
A dark, eerie blend of trap and horrorcore, this collaboration sees two of the most enigmatic acts in rap pushing the boundaries of sonic dread. Haunting synths and bone-rattling 808s set the tone for a track that feels like a descent into the abyss.

3. Banshee – You Are What You Fear In Me
With industrial undertones, ethereal vocals, and a chaotic energy reminiscent of the digital avant-garde, Banshee crafts a sound that’s both abrasive and hypnotic. It’s a genre-defying statement that sits at the intersection of hyperpop, metal, and alt-electronica.

4. Tank And The Bangas – This Black Girl
A genre-blurring masterpiece that weaves jazz, R&B, and hip-hop into a deeply personal and socially charged narrative. Tank’s charismatic delivery and the band’s rich instrumentation make this a forward-thinking anthem of self-expression.

5. Nao – All Of Mine
Effortlessly blending future R&B with electronic soul, Nao’s track drips with emotional weight and sonic innovation. Her celestial vocals float over intricate production, proving once again that she’s at the cutting edge of modern soul music.

Night Flight 35

North Wales Psychedelic rock band 'Holy Coves' are poised to release their brand new single 'The Hurt Within' on Friday 25th of March via 'Yr Wyddfa Records'.

Lead by Welsh Singer-Songwriter Scott Marsden, 'Holy Coves' find themselves crossing an unseen threshold on a fantastical new journey where new psych-hazed material spells an exciting new era for the collective.

Through long time friend and Producer David Wrench, 'Holy Coves' were put in touch with Texan Producer Erik Wofford (The Black Angels / Explosions In The Sky) and have built quite a magical working relationship, one where Wofford found himself on Mixing and Mastering duties for the material and certainly contributes to their new sound.

Candid Faces are a five piece post punk outfit from Kingston Upon Hull. Made up of fiery front-woman Liz Shaw, energetically boppy guitarists Joe Beeks and Taro Keeitch, untamable drummer Max Wilson and moustached Stallion Ben Hales on bass.
They specialise in writing hard hitting, catchy songs which revolve around subjects such as: old women, fist fights and paranoia. Accompanying this is hard hitting instrumentals with a proper pop groove which create a soundscape described as 'trash-pop' and 'jagged'.

Needle Talk touches on themes of paranoia and anxiety. It's a peek into the psyche of someone who is constantly conscious of how they are perceived. The main hook of the chorus is saying 'Let it go' as a cry to let go of those feelings and be free from those mental constraints.
