Fly by Midnight
Shimmering, neon-lit indie pop that feels like a late-night drive through a city you used to love. Warm synths and nostalgic hooks for the hopeless romantic.

Fly By Midnight is a New York-based duo consisting of Justin Bryte and producer Slavo. Since their formation in 2015, they have carved out a significant niche in the independent pop landscape by blending high-gloss production with a DIY work ethic.
Their sound identity is built on a foundation of 80s pop influences - citing Hall & Oates and The Outfield - reimagined through the lens of 2020s indie-pop. Critically, they are noted for their exceptional vocal arrangements and 'retro-pop' aesthetic, which avoids being derivative by maintaining a sharp focus on contemporary emotional themes like digital-age loneliness and fleeting connections. Their career arc shows a steady evolution from cover-based viral success to a sophisticated original catalog, culminating in expansive projects like 'Fictional Illustrations.' They occupy a cultural space similar to artists like Joan and Nightly, appealing to a 'sad-pop' demographic that values both danceable rhythms and confessional lyrics. Their influence web is diverse, remarkably citing pop-punk acts like A Day To Remember alongside yacht-rock legends, which manifests in their music's structural tightness and melodic urgency.
