Flypaper Share On Your Mind

September 17, 2025 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

We’ve obviously been real high on the work of Rory Sear and his project, Flypaper, with both RayRay and myself extensively covering his work since the debut EP a couple of years ago. But now, on the horizon is the newest installment from the songwriter, with a sneak peek via PNK SLM waiting for you below. Instantly, the folk inclinations are there, but I love the approach and its clarity, allowing Sear’s voice to sparkle and the guitars to sort of reverberate. This works in contrast with a lot of the studio magic folks are using, so it offers up this purity that I haven’t seen a lot of lately. If you dig, like we do, Forget the Rush is out on November 7th.

Flypaper Back With A Gem

August 19, 2025 RayRay Leave a comment

Rory Sear’s new solo project under the moniker flypaper came onto our radar in the spring of last year with the release of his debut EP Other Orbit. Well now Sear is back again this year with his much anticipated debut full length called Forget the Rush, which of course comes with new tunes to enjoy. This new joint “Oh Well,” is what I would call a true gem in the indie folk or indie songwriter genre. It shows this tuned in knack for crafting songs with personal lyrics and expertly timed hints of pop undertones. Lovely.

You can pre-order your copy of Forget the Rush now. It’s out on November 7th via PNKSLM records.

Flypaper Shares Old Friend Video

March 5, 2024 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

You might recognize Rory Sear for his work on Brighton’s Beachtape, but at the moment, he’s flying solo under the moniker Flypaper. The latest single embraces this solitude, both in the song’s emotive qualities and the visual aesthetics of the video. Honestly, it gives off those early Hovvdy vibes to me, when things felt quiet and hushed, but you could imagine the live set taking on more power as the emotions swell. Listen to the snap of the drums that sets off a wave of emotion when the chorus hits; you’ll surely understand exactly what I’m getting at on my end. The new Other Orbit EP will be out on in May via PNKSLM.
