The Night Flight Orchestra was formed in 2007 in Helsingborg, Sweden by Björn Strid and David Andersson while on tour with their main band Soilwork, with bassist Sharlee D'Angelo of Arch Enemy also among the founding members. The band's aesthetic is a deliberate recreation of 1970s and 1980s AOR and classic rock, complete with lush vocal harmonies, melodic hooks, and analog production sensibilities. Seven studio albums followed from Internal Affairs (2012) through Amber Galactic (2017), Aeromantic (2020), and Give Us the Moon (2025), each reinforcing their commitment to the genre's golden-era sound.
