Look, I'm a hack and I'm finding it really hard not to write this blurb without mentioning that flypaper's sweet melancholic melodies and gift for song puts in mind the genius of Elliott Smith. It doesn't feel like much of an albatross, more a nod of quality.
Forget the Rush is the long-awaited debut full-length from flypaper, the solo project of London-based singer-songwriter Rory Sear, arriving after two acclaimed EPs via Stockholm-based indie label PNKSLM Recordings (ShitKid, Clutter, 7ebra, etc).
After coming up as the frontman of Brighton indie rockers Beachtape, flypaper emerged when Sear relocated to London and began self-recording at home, drawing inspiration from songwriting greats such as Randy Newman and Elliott Smith.
Following the release of two acclaimed self-recorded EPs, big nada and another orbit, Forget the Rush finds flypaper delivering on the promise of those early recordings with a more fleshed-out sound that retains the intimacy of his earlier work while allowing his songwriting chops and melodies to come to the forefront.
