MIDNIGHT RODEO
Share third single ‘The Big Melt’ – Out now via FatCat Records
Nottingham psych-pop specialists Midnight Rodeo share brand new effort ‘The Big Melt’, which is out now via FatCat Records (Honeyblood, The Twilight Sad, We Were Promised Jetpacks).
Bursting onto the scene earlier this year with tantalizing debut cuts ‘Now You’re Gone’ and ‘Shootout Sunday’, the group’s swaggering homage to 60’s lo-fi garage rock has already drawn influences from the likes of Allah-las, Juniore, La Luz and Pink Floyd, with enigmatic frontwoman Maddy Chamberlain’s alluring vocals nobly supported by a densely layered, atmospheric sound that combines slick psychedelia with Morricone-esque soundscapes.
Of the new release, Midnight Rodeo share “We were once a bit out of sorts walking through town and accidentally joined a Brazilian drum parade. I’m sure it was entirely coincidental timing, but we felt like that dog who thinks the parade is for them. I feel like we tried to recreate that feeling of finding yourself lost in an awakening world within a mundane day, and brought in Sam’s (keys, synths) Dad & brother to help with all the additional percussion to give it a Latin feel. It’s a big old good time party tune”.
Midnight Rodeo commands your full attention as they immerse you into their plentiful world. The Big Melt welcomes you to this expressive atmosphere filled with countless hooks, intricate noodles, and the most infectious energy. Delicate harmonies layer the arrangement as the psychedelic attributes intensify throughout. Midnight Rodeo builds this world that the audience wants to remain within for as long as possible, a visceral creation with this imaginative essence. These complex compositions that Midnight Rodeo crafts bring this playful essence into the forefront of their dynamic vision.
This outfit are quickly deeming themselves as the best on the scene right now and rightfully so. Once again they drop a track with this lasting atmosphere and immersive psych elements pushing the release further into its voyage.
With significant praise already from the likes of So Young Magazine, Clash, The Independent, Rough Trade and Under The Radar, and live slots ticked off alongside acts including The Bug Club and FEET, Midnight Rodeo will be heading out on their own debut headline UK tour this November to coincide with their single release.
Midnight Rodeo’s ‘The Big Melt’ is out now via Fat Cat Records and available on all digital platforms.
