 New double cassette edition of ‘Monsters’ - the latest album from US-based duo The Midnight - plus instrumental version ‘Monsters (Instrumentals)’.
 Having gone from online cult fascination to selling out London’s Roundhouse, The Midnight’s ‘Monsters’ debuted in the UK Top 100 Album Chart on release, ahead of a sure-tobe-sold-out tour that includes headlining Brixton Academy.
 The album finds lyricist, guitarist Tyler Lyle and instrumentalist and producer Tim McEwan creating a sweeping sound that fuses Americana archetypes with an evocative electronic palette referencing synth-driven film scores, deep house, pop and rock.
 ‘Monsters’ (released via Counter Records - Maribou State, ODESZA) sees a continuation of The Midnight’s immersive world-building that has attracted a rabid fanbase. From the album artwork to the song titles, the record excavates teenage emotions through nostalgic touchstones - the early internet, VHS tapes, PlayStations, movie posters - to recreate the thrilling and crushing experiences of those tumultuous years.
 For fans of Kyle Dixon (‘Stranger Things’ OST), The 1975, M83, The Weeknd, Muse, Chromatics, Hot Chip, Chvrches.
