It will be available on all the usual streaming platforms via the band's DHM record label on New Year's Day 2026.

The Hull based original psychedelic band have a big history on the indie scene, featuring Lou Duffy-Howard of recently reformed indie chart-toppers Red Guitars, lead guitarist Jeff Parsons of post-punk guitar band Dead Fingers Talk, rhythm guitarist Richard Duffy-Howard and drummer Mark Hurton. Expect original psychedelic sounds, an eclectic blend of rebel rock from across the ages, with tacit nods to garage punk, psychedelia, Americana and acid folk/rock.

"Flight Path came about when I heard that some birds changed their flight pattern to avoid the war over Ukraine. The song is about the leader of a flock of birds flying over beautiful countryside and oceans, and also aware of war zones and devastated nations. The bird leads the flock, observing the world below.

Lyrics

Flight Path

Path, flight, follow, north
Path, flight, hollow, war

The sky is silent, whispers none, sundown burns, the the day hangs on
The war bird squawks, but no one hears, his bones are chill with secret fears
Out there the wild, and all alone, there is no party, no one’s home
Escape the winter place to hide, yet warm enough to sleep outside

Oh, please, Jesus Jones, don’t take me for a bag of bones
I may be small, but looking bright, with my star crew right by my side
Brothers and sisters, fly with me, I’ll take us to the future
Sea and landscape fair and flowing by, til rubble, devastation

Then the sun streams in, another day, look out, a streak across the sky
The war bird in a pool of light, his feathers warm still poised for flight

Path, flight, follow, north
Path, flight, hollow, war

War bird, sun bird, path flight follow north
War bird, sun bird path flight hollow war
