Midnight Kids – Basement Dreams EP
|
Midnight Kids is a fantastic shoegaze band (don’t know? check out My Bloddy Valentine’s Loveless and that will get you started) out of DC. Their EP Basement Dreams is appropriately titled. When you listen to the record, images of smoke filled rooms and flashing neon lights come to mind – which is what I think they are going for here. Their music is ethereal enough to be interesting but does not cross the line into the cliche. The haunting vocals, spacey keyboards, and powerful guitars send you through a melodic time warp taking you back to when distortion and fuzz were king and the louder you played the better. Not to mention the ryhtym section of this band is doing all it can to keep this guy’s toe tapping. Plus they have a song in French… so rad. Enjoy! ATTN DC: Midnight Kids is playing at the Long Walks on the Beach metaPHYSICAL single release party on May 8th at PAPER SUN. I have a feeling they are really really loud… |
