THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA comments:
“’Way To Spend The Night’ shows you the absolute electric connection we have as a band, both as musicians and people. This band that we have in common, brings out the very best of each member and make them deliver beyond anyone’s wildest expectations. That is something we really treasure and this song proves it – both musically and visually. The footage was all captured in the glistening autumnal side of summer, one night on town in the heart of Stockholm. Please enjoy!””
THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA — featuring members of SOILWORK and ARCH ENEMY — will release its seventh studio album and “most cinematic offering to date”, “Give Us The Moon”, on January 31, 2025 via Napalm Records.

THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA comments: “How excited can you possibly get from announcing a new album? Well, let us tell you: We are shaking with excitement, hanging from chandeliers, doing butterfly strokes in sparkling wine, making snow angels in icing sugar and climbing Mont Blanc in stilettos. THAT’S how excited we are. Now give us the moon, will ya?”

In a 2023 interview with The Rockpit, THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA frontman Björn Strid stated about how the band came together: “I wouldn’t say that I was growing up on FOREIGNER or BOSTON. I mean, I heard the singles, but BOSTON was not very big in Europe. So that’s something that I discovered later. But I definitely grew up on ’80s radio. I was born in ’78, which is kind of my favorite musical era, which is kind of strange as I wasn’t there to experience it, or was too small, I should say. But we discovered so many things, me and David (Andersson, then-SOILWORK guitarist) as well. He was a session player for SOILWORK in 2007 on our North American tour and we instantly hit it off and ended up listening to music in the back lounge, and there were song battles all night long. We discovered so many things, but not just the music, everything around it — the aesthetics of the ’70s and ’80s, even production — everything. And we felt like there was a void out there that needed to be filled. Because retro-sounding rock bands was not really a new thing, but most of them had that BLACK SABBATH, LED ZEPPELIN, early ’70s bell-bottom Orange amps feel. Not that there’s anything wrong with that — we enjoyed that — but we felt that there was this huge hole that needed to be filled with music and a way of producing and a way of writing songs that people hadn’t heard for a long time. And that’s what we built the bad on – to promote something that we felt was missing, and then also building a concept around it to make it a whole experience.”
