It wouldn’t be goodbye without a surprise record.

Today we release our fourth album, Pursued By A Bear.

This one is really a thank you to you. Every single person who has supported us and followed us along the way.
It’s a collection of songs we’ve gathered over the years…singles, B-sides, demos, live sessions and a few things that have never seen the light of day.

Some of these songs hold such nostalgic memories for us, while others are little moments we’d almost forgotten about. It felt like a shame to leave them behind.

And, as always, these songs wouldn’t be what they are without the incredible people we’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with over the years. A huge thank you to @mottsyj @caradogtj @djamesgoodwin @casper_miles @george_purnell @treasuredrums @bradblackwell @nickarthurdaniel @tmhillyy @louiscoupe @vinezhardy @herensemblemusic

With tonight being our final show, it seemed like the right time to put them all together. A parting gift, of sorts.

This week has been truly incredible, and it wouldn’t have been the same without every single one of you who came out to see us. We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful way to bow out.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.

All our love,
 Night Flight x

I finished recording my first solo album with @mottsyj in this magical place @sundlaugin that is placed in a beautiful area called Álafoss in my childhood hometown Mosfellsbær.
Like the name of the studio tells it is an old swimming pool, and my father learned to swim in that pool.
My uncles also had a pub next to that building when the studio was opened.
So the neighbourhood brings up a lot of wonderful memories ❤️

Just a little story before bedtime

Here’s a video for the new song, My phone or something. Shot at Iceland Airwaves 2025. There’s also some footage from our USA travels last year. Fun! I think you should watch.

It paints an uncomfortable picture of the modern dating and relationship scene, where the biggest betrayals and the ultimate showdowns usually happen over one little screen.
