    Tracks like “I’ve Got a Girl” and “Trying to Break Your Heart” tell stories of musical and relational gains and losses that are rare in their polish and panache, while “Easy Tiger” and “Losing You” are songs which are bound to soundtrack a thousand broken hearts this summer. Flyte is a band developing nicely into a mature and flexible unit.

    I found each half of This Is Really Going to Hurt to be quite solid, but I couldn't quite get over how it sounds like the band are trying two separate things. It almost feels like two EPs, each with a different musical focus, shoved together.

    It’s hard to think of many other contemporary albums that are quite so beautifully arranged as this. ... This is a very special album indeed.
