Aug 8, 2024The band sacrifices their love for challenging sonics for soaring harmonies that accent subtle nods to Western nostalgia while filling the room with grandiose arrangements, creating a tight and consistently entertaining tracklist that still finds ways to shock and amaze.

Aug 9, 2024Whereas their last record, The Silver Chord, was synthetic, a point of weakness for the band, Flight b741 shifts to the organic, a point of strength that highlights how comfortable the band are playing with one another, from their effortless harmonies to their ability to jam without getting too noodle-y.
