Flyte’s homecoming show at Koko Camden kicked off with the acoustic ballad Speech Bubble, during which you could hear a pin drop among the enamoured crowd. Frontman Will Taylor later described the opening song choice as “risky” in a room of 1,500 people, but he needn’t have worried – he had the crowd in the palm of his hand.
The London duo – made up of Taylor and Nicolas Hill – released their self-titled third album in October, following 2021’s This is Really Going to Hurt and 2017’s The Loved Ones. They’ve been touring the US and Europe since then, but were clearly delighted to be back on home turf: “London!” Taylor said in greeting to the crowd, “it’s good to be home.”
