Treetop Flyers release their new single ‘It’s About Time' on 18th September, and will mark the release with a single launch party at Hoxton Bar & Kitchen on Tuesday, 19th September.
Self-produced at Courtyard Studios, Oxfordshire, 'It's About Time' was recorded by Ian Davenport (Supergrass, Band Of Skulls) and features the b-side ‘Become A Stranger’.
Their debut single ‘Things Will Change’, which came out through Communion Records in May, enjoyed considerable airplay on 6 Music, XFM, Absolute and spot plays on Radio1 and Radio 2. The band also recently won Glastonbury’s Emerging Talent competition.
The band will also play a string of UK festival and headline shows over the coming few months.

“’Country-Soul’ is about right,” reckons Reid Morrison of Treetop Flyers, whose beautifully tangled roots soak up a timeless musical current. “We’re not full-on Country or Soul. Our songs have a harder edge and embrace a more contemporary sound. Our influences range from Van Morrison and Neil Young to Ronnie Lane and The Coral. We have this cauldron and we put all those influences and others in”
Admired by the likes of Adele, who’s a fan of Reid’s voice, Laura Marling, Mumford & Sons and Guillemots, the band's live performances have earned them a devoted and burgeoning fan base, which recently led to a sold out Borderline show. Appearances at this year’s Glastonbury and Hop Farm festivals saw Treetop Flyers playing to packed-out tents, crediting them as “festival highlights”.
Treetop Flyers are currently working on their debut album, which is set for release early next year.
