Catching Flies found himself on my ‘UK producers to watch’ list after dropping a superb debut EP, The Stars, back in October, and is now looking to go double or nothing with his new 6-track offering, The Long Journey Home, on June 17.
The EP will include 3 new original songs, the first of which we get is “Stay Forever,” a brilliantly layered blend of cascading bedroom beats and lush, soulful vocals that have been on repeatable late night rotation for the better part of the last hour. If you manage not to melt off into an aural dream state before 2:51, you’ll run into the ambrosial sax solo performed by Dylan Kirby which doubles as my favorite section of the song.
If this is any indication of what we’ll get on the rest of the The Long Journey Home, I’d suggest you go ahead and pre-order the EP immediately.
