'''The Midnight''' is an [[wikipedia:United_States_of_America\|American]] synthwave duo composed of producer [[Tim McEwan]] and singer-songwriter [[Tyler Lyle]]. Originating in [[wikipedia:Los_Angeles\|Los Angeles, California]], the band formed after McEwan and Lyle met during an arranged co-writing session in April 2012.

	The Midnight debuted in 2014 with the release of their first EP, [[Days of Thunder]]. This was followed by their first album [[Endless Summer]] in 2016, after which the duo became firmly established within the synthwave music scene. [[Nocturnal]] was released in 2017 and saw The Midnight explore a darker, more noir sound. A trilogy series of albums began in 2018 with [[Kids]], continuing with [[Monsters]] in 2020 and [[Heroes]] in 2022. The latter two records were noted for moving the band's sound in a different direction and saw them exploring additional genres outside of synthwave. During the trilogy, the band also released the Halloween-themed EP [[Horror Show]] in 2020. The Midnight's latest album [[Syndicate]] was released in 2025.

A trilogy series of albums began in 2018 with [[Kids]], continuing with [[Monsters]] in 2020 and [[Heroes]] in 2022.
