SINGLE REVIEW: In-Flight Movie - Getaway
'Getaway' takes listeners on a cinematic journey into the artistic realm of In-Flight Movie, seamlessly blending influences reminiscent of M83 and Public Service Broadcasting. The lyrics are a heartfelt exploration of nostalgia for classic films and a yearning for the fleeting days of youth, as James, the band's vocalist, eloquently explains: 'it is about childhood friends, or friends from a past life who you may have lost touch with but still remember from time to time.' This poignant narrative unfolds within an immersive musical tapestry featuring inventive electronic production, skillful instrumental artistry, and James's strikingly sharp vocal hooks.
The track encapsulates a whimsical, wistful sentiment that resonates deeply, and its unique blend of elements makes it a standout in the contemporary music scene. In-Flight Movie's rising popularity in Oxford and beyond suggests that the band is poised for a soaring trajectory in the near future. 'Getaway' is more than just a song; it's an immersive experience that captures the essence of shared memories and the inevitable passage of time.
