Cinematic AOR crew The Night Flight Orchestra drop second new single and official music video

The Night Flight Orchestra have released the energetic new single “Way To Spend The Night”, cut from the upcoming album “Give Us The Moon”, set for release on January 31, 2025 via Napalm Records! Founded in 2007 by members of significant bands such as Soilwork, Arch Enemy and Mean Streak, The Night Flight Orchestra have established their place in the scene with AOR inspired, multifaceted soundscapes and spellbinding live shows, garnering an international fanbase by touring in Europe as well as in Latin America. Further live highlights have included enormous festivals like Wacken Open Air and opening for Kiss on their very last two shows in Sweden at legendary Dalhalla.
 
Fans will get the chance to hear songs from the new album live on The Night Flight Orchestra’s “Moon Over Europe 2025” tour from late January on, with Metalite and Tragedy announced as support acts, as well as on the Scandinavian leg of the tour starting in late February. Get your tickets now, make sure to pre-order the new album and check out the official music video for “Way To Spend The Night” below!

’Way To Spend The Night’ shows you the absolute electric connection we have as a band, both as musicians and people. This band that we have in common, brings out the very best of each member and make them deliver beyond anyone’s wildest expectations. That is something we really treasure and this song proves it – both musically and visually. The footage was all captured in the glistening autumnal side of summer, one night on town in the heart of Stockholm. Please enjoy!

“Give Us The Moon” takes the listener on an exciting sonic journey, balancing between uplifting escapism and captivating stories inspired by real life events. The album’s themes span the likes of heroines and temptresses to liberation and romantic nostalgia, set to backdrops of abandoned cities and cosmic tides.

The intro track “Final Call” sets the scene for “Give Us The Moon” before impressive opening track “Stratus”. The intro of “Like The Beating Of A Heart” captures the listener from its first notes, leading into an irresistibly catchy chorus. Massive “Melbourne, May I?” is a classic The Night Flight Orchestra anthem, featuring captivating solos that are equally prominent on following track “Miraculous”. The Night Flight Orchestra slows it down for the emotional “Paloma”, before again diving into different soundscapes on the exciting, uplifting “Cosmic Tide”. The title track “Give Us The Moon” builds into a singalong chorus, before the band continues their trademark of name-dropping streets and cities on “A Paris Point Of View”, that features fascinating instrumentation including particularly 80s-inspired keys and groovy bass. Sentimental “Runaways” feels like a part of a movie, only partially because of the attention-grabbing intro track before the first notes. The Night Flight Orchestra gets the tempo up once more for “Way To Spend The Night” before epic closing track “Stewardess, Empress, Hot Mess (And The Captain Of Pain)” wraps up The Night Flight Orchestra’s most cinematic masterpiece so far.

“Give Us The Moon” is free from the limitations of one genre or style, although many of the soundscapes of the album draw inspiration from the 80s, making the album a varied, exciting adventure. The album was produced by The Night Flight Orchestra and Sebastian Forslund, who also mixed the album, and is mastered by Plec Johansson at award-winning The Panic Room Studios. The galactic artwork was once again created by the talented Giorgia Carteri Boarding is completed – fasten your seatbelts and enjoy the flight!

We have never worked harder on an album before and what a journey it’s been. We feel that this album has it all and there’s no way we could have done any better. It’s an explosion of emotions and cinematic landscapes where you’ll be catapulted into space and then land smoothly while feeling right at home. It will be your haven and your grand escape all at once. We hope you will connect to this album with every fiber of your body and mind, just like we do. Please do enjoy Give Us The Moon!
