London-based band Night Flight have unveiled their beautiful new video for "Parade", which you can watch first via The Independent.

The song is the band's new single, released ahead of their EP Carousel which is out on 1 June. It was co-written with Billie Marten, and sees frontman/songwriter Sam Holmes sing: "Hey there, how've you been in this world/since I fell out of yours?"

He said of the track: "[Parade is] A conversation between ex-partners set some time after their breakup. While the motive is for cathartic reconciliation, it quickly turns into a passive aggressive back and forth of one-upmanship."

Check the video out below:

Q&A with Night Flight

What are you listening to at the moment?

Currently listening to Bahamas, Elliot Smith and Kevin Morby to go along with the usual back catalogue of the Beatles, Big Star and John Martyn

What are your plans for the rest of 2018?

We have our second EP coming out on the 1st of June and an array of shows to support it up and down the country. We’ll also be recording our debut album in the summer!

What was the first gig you ever played and what has been the best so far?

One of our first ever shows were supporting Nick Mulvey in Holland and the best so far has definitely been our first headline show at the Shacklewell Arms earlier this year.

Night Flight are: Sam Holmes, Harry Phillips, Nick Holbeck, Dan Webb and Andy Leishman. The band are on tour in May - see dates and more info here
