The Midnight Release Anthemic New Single "Change Your Heart Or Die"
LA-based band The Midnight have unveiled their new single,
"Change Your Heart Or Die". Signifying a shift in sonic direction for
The Midnight, "Change Your Heart Or Die" combines unashamedly bold
guitar licks with infectious vocals–an anthemic jam that leaves a lasting
impression.
Speaking on the record, the band shares, “Since we’ve begun
touring, our music has continued to be influenced by communal, live
experiences. This is something we’ve missed for the last two years. We wanted
to write a song that was about having a collective experience with other people
and singing something raw at the top of our lungs. This song, when you sing it
together, becomes more than the sum of its parts.”
The track will feature on their forthcoming album out later
this year, and precedes their first UK and Ireland tour since the pandemic.
Consisting of songwriter Tyler Lyle and Danish producer Tim
McEwan, The Midnight formed in 2012 feeling indebted to Johnny Jewel/Chromatics
and Cliff Martinez’s OST Drive and the resurgence of classic synth sounds
growing around its release, the pair wrote two singles
"WeMoveForward" and "Gloria", that would later be released
as part of their debut EP ‘Days of Thunder’. The band then released 12-track LP
'Endless Summer' in 2016 and 'Nocturnal' the year after, which spent several
weeks as a Bandcamp best-seller. This followed with 2018’s ‘Kids’ that reached
#1 on the Billboard ‘Dance/Electronic’ charts. Their last album 'Monsters' came
in 2020, and was praised by The Express as the band's “most stylish and
creative music yet.”
Over a few short years of forming, The Midnight have
achieved over 452 million+ catalogue streams and 70 million+ YouTube channel
views. They have grown from online cult fascination to international touring
band, with sold out multiple worldwide tours from their past two albums.
'Monsters' alone sold over 50,000 equivalent albums worldwide, charting in the
US, UK and Australia and sold out in every format, amassing 50 million+ streams
within 18 months after its release.
