June 9, 2018

After taking the world of rock music by storm with last year's surprise hit Amber Galactic, which was nominated for a Swedish Grammy and accompanied by a European tour that left fans speechless, Swedish classic/progressive rock supergroup THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA are set to release their impatiently awaited next album, Sometimes The World Ain't Enough on June 29 via Nuclear Blast.

Today the band releases the official music video for the brand new song, "Lovers In The Rain".

The real life/animation mash-up video was created by renowned artist Elia Cristofoli of Solingo who also made the infamous video for last year's hit single "Gemini".

Watch the video here:

Commented the band: "'Lovers in the Rain' is the soundtrack of the way it felt when you held the hand of your first true love for the first time. Happiness so intense, your heart beating so fast that it almost feels like a panic attack. And in the back of your head, you're already mourning the fact that one day it will all be over. But during those first trembling moments, you know that nothing will ever be the same again. From now on, you will always compare every life experience to these first magic moments.

'Lovers in the Rain' is an homage to the anthems of our youth, the songs that made us believe that in every life; no matter how insignificant you might feel sometimes, you will someday have that experience with someone. Hopefully with THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA playing in the background. And believe us, we've all been there.

This song, like the whole new album, is about those moments when you transcend reality and might for one fleeting moment catch a glimpse of the otherworldly. It's for each and every one of you, with love from THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA, remembering everyone we've ever loved and lost."

Also today, the band will play at Copenhagen airport. The gig is part of the grand opening of internationally acclaimed micro brewery Mikkeller's brand new bar. The bar will open at Terminal 2, behind security, so in order to get there/attend the gig, you need to have a boarding ticket.

Furthermore the band, together with Mikkeller, have created their own cocktail, called "Midnight Flyer" which comes along with a side shot called "Spacewagon", the latter being created for the occasion only.

Commented the band: "We are beyond excited to be apart of the grand opening of Mikkeller Bar at Copenhagen Airport this Friday. Not only will we perform an exclusive acoustic set at the opening, but our very own NFO cocktail will also be launched, together with a shot, to celebrate this special day. Mikkeller have created the perfect long drink for a night flight, or any flight for that matter. "Midnight Flyer" is a modern "Scandinavian Flight Cap", beautifully flavored with Mikkeller beer barrel aged 4 year old Guatemalan rum from Phantom Spirits, classic Danish lemon soda called "Citronvand", gold dust and other secret ingredients. It comes with a shot on the side called "Spacewagon", a Danish old school bitter. The perfect combo to beam you up, before your flight. Try it, exclusively, at Copenhagen Airport."

Commented Mikkeller: "We love to collaborate with like-minded, curious people who're into adventures and flavors, and coming up with this space combo together with THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA has been a great and fun experience. It's no secret that we're huge fans of NFO here at Mikkeller HQ and we've turned both friends and enemies onto the band, ever since Amber Galactic came out last year and blew our minds. What better way, while we impatiently wait for the new album to come out later this month, than to have NFO play at the launch of Mikkeller CPH Airport and Midnight Flyer + Spacewagon?!"

Watch the first single and music video off the new album, entitled "This Time":

Commented the band:
"Recording the video for our first single "This Time", was like combining different dimensions in a space cocktail. Numerous times during the video shoot, band members had to call the tax authorities, to confirm their names in the register, to make sure they had not lost all contact with reality. The result is surely mesmerizing and will take you on a journey that will be hard to digest. This is also our first video featuring the "The Airline Annas", our beautiful and super talented back up singers. They certainly made this video sparkle. The song itself, is the album opener and might not be representative for the whole album - no song really is, but we just like it that way. We make albums and each and every song leads it's own little life and together they form a celebratory album with class, hooks and a bass that could walk a million miles without stopping for a drink. This trailblazer of a song used to be just ours, now it's yours too. Enjoy!"

2017's Amber Galactic was awarded as "album of the month" in various renowned European music magazines such as ROCK HARD (Germany), ROCK HARD (France), SWEDEN ROCK MAGAZINE (Sweden), POWERMETAL.DE (Germany), UNITED ROCK NATIONS (France).

The album also reached high soundcheck positions in other magazines:
METAL HAMMER (Germany): #2
DEAF FOREVER (Germany): #3
AARDSCHOK (Netherlands): #3

When asked about the direction of NFO within the realm of classic rock, Strid explains with a chuckle: "Most other classic rock bands sound like weed or LSD - we sound like cocaine."

Amber Galactic was recorded at Handsome Hard Studio in Lund, Sweden. The album follows THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA's two previous releases, 2012's Internal Affairs and 2015's Skyline Whispers.
