Antarctika EP Press Release

HiFlyer are one of the latest young bands to emerge from the cutting edge music scene of Bristol. Fronted by a brother and sister song writing team, Henry and Elle Williams are joined by Mike Edwards and Alex Browne and together they make up HiFlyer. Alex Browne has only joined very recently after HiFlyer's drummer left the band and Alexâs indie drumming style has added a whole new dimension to the music, in both the studio and on stage.

They are in the process of releasing their new EP âAntarctikaâ which is out October 2nd on Reiker Records in the UK. âAntarctikaâ is a great follow up to their debut album âHere Comes the Sunshineâ, (which sealed them an American record deal) and shows how the writing style of this young band has grown and matured over the last year.

âAntarctikaâ is filled with heart warming yet some sad songs. Rarely have guitars and pianos sounded smoother. âAntarctikaâ sits somewhere between the serene perfection of Fleetwood Macâs greatest hits and Coldplayâs âParachutesâ, yet in places even manages to sound like a refined Beautiful South release. And it's big.

âAntarctikaâ in some places is certainly mood music; yet in others is an EP to dance about to, filled with both songs for quiet reflection but also foot tapping drive time music.

The future single Chasing Rainbows is an indication of things to come - nothing too miserable, but profound enough to be more than just confection. âLakes of Tearsâ, âLeft Behindâ and âHe Doesnât Knowâ have instantly memorable riffs that will have you singing them for weeks. The electric guitars that do manage to turn up scarcely trouble the ear yet it is as acoustic as it dares to be.

Considering that HiFlyer are literally just out of school, you can't help but feel that they have a particularly rosy future ahead of them and âAntarctikaâ is only an indication of things yet to come.

This is an album of remarkable depth, especially when one considers the youthful ages of the band members; surely, this marks the start of a highly successful story.
