Manchester twins George and Henry Flint didn’t set out to become the next big psych-pop act. They started as behind-the-scenes producers and songwriters, crafting tracks for Melanie Martinez, Lil Yachty, Jean Dawson and others. The Flints was their escape hatch—music made purely for themselves.
Growing up between Manchester and Europe, the brothers bonded early over a family computer, swapping songs and jamming through bedroom walls. During lockdown they returned home and began writing just for fun. What came out was vivid, genre-blurring pop with soul, indie and electronic roots.
Their debut single “Serengeti” arrived in 2022, followed by the EPs 100 Million Lightyears and Midnight Sunrise. Those releases built a loyal following with their woozy synths, live energy and tight harmonies.
The real breakthrough came in 2024 when Justice invited them to star on “Mannequin Love” from the Grammy-winning album Hyperdrama. The track became their biggest hit by far, racking up over fourteen million Spotify streams. They joined Justice on the Hyperdrama world tour across Europe, the UK and the US, including a packed show at Alexandra Palace.
Their EP 21st Century Love dropped in August 2025 on Nettwerk. Produced with longtime collaborator KOZ, it leans into more stripped-back vocals and emotional depth. Standouts include “The End is the End,” “Like You Mean It,” “Supernatural Feelings” and “Finally Forever.” Other successful tracks like “Different Drum” and “Living in a Dream” keep the momentum going.
Now their newest release, Jewel of the North, arrived on August fourteenth, twenty twenty-six. The six-track EP runs about twenty-two minutes and was perfected in their Manchester home studio. It opens with “Tomorrow’s Yesterday,” followed by “The Cold of You,” “Don’t Wanna Be Your Drug,” “Hold On Me,” “The Time is Now,” and the title track. They even put out a tiny run of twenty-five handmade cassettes with it.
On stage the twins switch between guitars, synths and vocals with an easy chemistry that feels almost telepathic. They’ve earned co-signs from Empire of the Sun, Cerrone and others, and they’re already being called “your favorite band’s favorite band.”
With a growing catalogue and a sound that feels both nostalgic and fresh, The Flints are turning their side project into something that could last.
