Continuing their stellar year so far, rising UK psych-pop duo The Flints are thrilled to announce their latest EP ‘21st Century Love’ released Aug 15th on Nettwerk. Today they also share another outstanding single, ‘Supernatural Feelings’.
The single arrives as the Manchester-born twins, George and Henry Flint, wrap their latest stint supporting Justice on the U.S. leg of the Hyperdrama tour, having previously joined the French electronic pioneers for a US run and select European shows, including Alexandra Palace.
The band explains; “Supernatural Feelings came from a period where everything felt heightened—long-distance calls in the middle of the night, dreams that felt more real than reality, and that strange, electric sense that someone’s on your mind even when they’re miles away. We started writing the track between Manchester and Toronto while working closely with KOZ (Kendrick Lamar, Dua Lipa), pulling together lyrics and melodies that tried to make sense of that emotional blur. Back in Manchester, we finished the song in our home studio, layering in textures late at night until it finally felt like the fever-dream it was meant to be. It’s a song about uncertainty and connection, and the quiet, persistent question of whether what you’re feeling is love—or just the idea of it.”

For Manchester-born twins George and Henry Flint, their band, The Flints, was born out of a need to escape. After years working behind the scenes as producers and songwriters for the likes of Jean Dawson, Deb Never, Melanie Martinez and Lil Yachty, the duo sought refuge in creating music for themselves, initially from their childhood bedrooms where they returned during lockdown. It was there, sharing songs that had no clear purpose other than exploration, that The Flints found their identity.
The pair’s deep musical chemistry was forged over a lifetime spent listening through shared walls and passing demos across family computers. Teenage years in various bands taught them how to communicate musically and that their connection with each other ran deeper than with any collaborator. “Being in bands together was how we learned to speak musically,” George reflects. “Our communication with each other is better than with anyone else.”
The lightbulb moment came when they double tracked their vocals in the same room for the first time. That vocal interplay became the sonic foundation for their sound, refined alongside longtime collaborator KOZ (Dua Lipa, Kendrick Lamar, Madonna). Their upcoming EP 21st Century Love pushes that sound further: more live, more confident, and more emotionally open. Tracks like ‘The End is the End’ and ‘Like You Mean It’ layer woozy psychedelia with raw lyricism, while the title track deconstructs their vocal blend to reveal the individuality behind the harmony.
That boldness also stems from a timely creative alliance with French electronic legends Justice, who invited The Flints to collaborate on 2024’s ‘Mannequin Love’ and join them on the HYPERDRAMA world tour, across Europe, the UK and the U.S.A “They see us as a rock band,” George says. “That reframed how we see ourselves.” The partnership became a mirror, pushing the twins to explore their sound more fearlessly and to consider their own duo dynamic in new light.
21st Century Love is more than a title—it’s a reflection of where The Flints stand now: confident, liberated, and ready to be heard on their own terms. What began as a side-door escape has evolved into a fully realised vision, built on shared history, creative risk, and a rare kind of musical symmetry.
