CHICAGO | The Flints introduced their disco-pop sound to Chicago on October 23, opening for dance music legends Justice at Radius. The English duo, consisting of twin brothers George and Henry Flint, collaborated with Justice for the French group’s latest album, Hyperdrama, being featured on “Mannequin Love.” The brothers put on quite the performance, warming up the crowd with their raw, yet groovy sound and bringing the magic to the sold-out show.
The brothers have been making music as the Flints since 2022 with their debut single, “Serengeti,” bringing a trippy, ethereal sound that can be compared to the styles of Tame Impala, Djo, and BØRNS. Their latest EP, Midnight Sunrise, takes a listener through a journey full of ambiance, discovery, and even some nostalgia, depending on who you ask. They have joined Justice for select shows on their North American tour, marking the Flints’ first shows in the United States and the chance to expand their audience beyond.
As the night kicked off, the Flints took the audience to a new dimension by combining elements of disco, funk, EDM, and good old indie pop. Opening their set with “Right Kind of Love”, they immediately captured the attention of the audience and did so throughout the night with their funky basslines and beautiful voices. One notable song, “100 Million Lightyears,” was nothing short of breathtaking in a hauntingly beautiful way. From the feeling of floating in the water to running through a vortex, the Flints know how to capture the essence of these emotions in their music with multiple elements.
Hearing these songs live combined with stunning visual effects elevated the atmosphere of their set to the next level. With the addition of their delicate voices, the duo played their guitars and created a vibe the crowd was yearning for. The Flints are only getting started and should be ones to look out for going into the new year.
