Harmony, Heartbreak, and High Vibes — First Time Flyers’ 15-Track Debut

First Time Flyers – Bound to Break Album Review

First Time Flyers may be new to the album game, but they arrive fully formed. All four members bring a wealth of experience from their previous projects, and it shows. Across 15 tracks, each artist adds their own moments and stories, making this debut feel more like a greatest hits collection with extras. It’s an album that rewards repeat listens — the first spin hooks you in, and on the second, you start to uncover the deeper layers. For seasoned fans, the opening run of tracks one to four will already feel like old friends.

“Almost Time” sets the tone with Poppy taking the lead. The emotion runs deep, carried by pedal steel in the background and lifted by their trademark layered harmonies. It gives off Humble and Kind vibes — the kind of song you can picture live, with the crowd holding phone lights high.

Things shift gears on “Walk the Line”, a fast-paced, upbeat track where the four-part harmonies shine. True to form, the band break off into their own vocal moments, showing how seamlessly they can move between group power and individual spotlight.

“Before the Wind Changes” builds slowly, a song about saving someone. Jake takes the lead here, delivering tender vocals against a backdrop of beautifully arranged instrumentation. The line “before the wind changes” becomes a refrain that swells into an epic, emotional climax.

“Do You Remember” dives into heartbreak and pain, once again elevated by those stacked harmonies that are quickly becoming their signature.

Overall, this 15-track collection explores heartbreak, resilience, and connection, all wrapped in soaring harmonies and immaculate production. Musically it feels positive and full of energy, but when you strip it back on a second listen, the lyrics reveal raw honesty and vulnerability. It’s the best of both worlds: familiar fan favourites mixed with brand-new, tender material.

First Time Flyers aren’t just releasing a debut — they’re arriving as one of the hottest acts of the moment. With a tour just around the corner, this album sets the stage for a live experience that promises to be the complete package. Don’t miss it.
