We recently came across a song on our chart that quietly stayed with us long after the first listen, and we knew we had to share it with you. Derbyshire-based duo Halftouch recently released their debut single, “Watch Us Fly,” and after spending time with it, it feels like the start of something genuinely promising. The duo leans into indie folk with a softness that never feels fragile, balancing heartfelt songwriting with acoustic arrangements that quietly pull you in. Chris’ transition from synthwave outfit WOLFCCLUB into this folk-driven project adds an interesting layer to the band’s identity.
“Halftouch arrives like a gentle wave, ready to stun you with their indie folk music.”
Some songs try to make a grand statement, but “Watch Us Fly” finds its magic in the quieter moments. The track carries a gentle sense of hope throughout, making it feel like a companion for anyone standing at the beginning of a new chapter. The acoustic guitar work flows naturally throughout the song, creating a warm and comforting atmosphere without ever feeling overproduced. I loved how the vocals never push too hard. Instead, they let the emotions settle softly, making every line feel sincere. There’s an intimacy to the recording that works beautifully with the song’s message of trusting the moment and embracing whatever comes next. More than a debut single, “Watch Us Fly” feels like the first page of a story listeners will genuinely be interested in following.
