The Midnight presents Monsters, their latest album. This US-based duo, consisting of lyricist and guitarist Tyler Lyle and instrumentalist and producer Tim McEwan, has transitioned from online cult fascination to selling out London’s Roundhouse in 2019. Monsters showcases The Midnight's ability to blend Americana archetypes with an evocative electronic palette, drawing inspiration from synth-driven film scores, deep house, pop, and rock. Released via Counter Records (known for Maribou State, ODESZA, Chrome Sparks), this album continues The Midnight's immersive world-building that has garnered a dedicated fanbase. From the album artwork to the song titles, Monsters delves into teenage emotions through nostalgic touchstones such as the early internet, VHS tapes, Playstations, and movie posters. The record captures the thrilling and tumultuous experiences of those formative years. If you enjoy music from artists like Kyle Dixon (Stranger Things OST), The 1975, M83, Kavinsky, Chromatics, Hot Chip, Gesaffelstein, and Chvrches, Monsters by The Midnight is a must-listen album for you.
