“Flyer” is a consuming single from Bristol-based saxophonist and composer Oli Morris. The track was inspired by Morris’ Californian roots, embracing nostalgia in its smooth brass-forward unveiling. Morris also features on Emilie Sande’s new album, Let’s Say For Instance.
Tender guitar twangs accompany a smooth bass line to start, the lounge-friendly soundscape enhanced further by glistening keys. The saxophone’s comforting glow emerges thereafter, alongside a trickling undercurrent of guitars. The late-night soundscape finds brightness just past the two-minute turn, where more enthusiastic brass lines and a backing shimmering expand with warmer inclinations. Lingering brass and playful percussion end the track with a spontaneous, refreshing pull. “Flyer” is an invigorating, bustling treat from Oli Morris.
