After The Midnight

In this episode, we dissect Daytona off of Endless Summer by The Midnight. We hear from Tim about working with Mads Storm, what inspired the track, and we give our takes on how it sounds. Includes interview clip of Tim from Beyond Synth #89.

This week we are back with track two off of Endless Summer, Sunset! This iconic anthem is a staple in any Midnight fan's catalog. We discuss the lyrics of the song, hear from fans on what the song means to them, and listen to an early demo version of the track.

We are back for Season Two! This season we will be taking a deep dive off The Midnight’s first full length album, Endless Summer. We start off by hearing from Tim and Tyler about the title track’s beginnings, highlight different portions of the song using stems and discuss the robotic vocal effect. Audio clip of Tyler and Tim from Beyond Synth #89.

This week we dive into Lost & Found, an original song by Tyler Lyle that was remixed by The Midnight. We had a chance to talk to Tyler about what the song means to him and history of how it went from a solo song to a remix. This song was released between Days of Thunder and Endless Summer when The Midnight was still only a side project. We also had a chance to hear from our friend Benoit from France about what the song means to him.

This week we have something very special for everyone! As we close out the first chapter in The Midnight’s catalog, we thought it would be great to hear from the band directly. Tyler Lyle was kind enough to give us his thoughts on writing the lyrics for Los Angeles and discusses uncredited vocals on the song. We take a new approach this episode and break down the individual tracks you hear in the song. These are called “stems” and really let us hear each synth and each instrument in a way that we haven’t done in previous episodes. We also got to hear how this song has been a moment in time for so many people.

This week we chill out a bit with Kick Drums & Red Wine! This is the second to last song off Days of Thunder, and to our surprise, a lot more went into creating the track than what you would think. We learn about the track's history, listen to the song, and also give a first listen to an early working demo. Interview clips from Beyond Synth Podcast.

This week we discuss the title track from The Midnight’s first release Days of Thunder, the song that put them in front of a lot of listeners. We hear from Tim on using a saxophone on a track for the first time, what he did to promote the song, and how it propelled sales of their EP. We also listen through the track, dance a bunch, and talk about what the lyrics mean to us. Interview clips from DownToJam and Beyond Synth Podcast.

In this week's episode, we break down track three from Days of Thunder by The Midnight. We listen to the track, talk about the writing process, and listen to an early demo previously unreleased by the band. Interview clips from Beyond Synth Podcast and demos from The Midnight Wiki.
