List of The Midnight merchandise
This is a list of merchandise that has been offered by The Midnight, either through their online store or available to purchase at their live shows. The Midnight began a partnership with Wisconsin-based printing shop Ambient Inks in early 2017 to produce band merchandise. Initial offerings were limited to apparel, but over time other items such as accessories, posters, and physical music became available as well.
When The Midnight began touring in Fall 2018, some merchandise began to be offered exclusively at shows. In most cases, leftover stock will be available for purchase on the online store once a tour concludes. Some tours have additionally had exclusive merchandise for those who purchase VIP tickets, and some VIP items will also be available for purchase online after a tour ends.
From 2017 to mid-2021, the online store was located at the domain merch.ambientinks.com/collections/themidnight and served all customers worldwide. Beginning in 2020 and continuing into mid-2021, separate online stores were established for the US (store-us.themidnightofficial.com) and UK (store-uk.themidnightofficial.com) to improve logistics for customers outside of the US. The UK store is operated by Sandbag while the US store continues to be ran by Ambient Inks. Item availability can vary between the two stores, which both ship worldwide. In general, once a item is removed from the website, it will no longer be made again. If an item is still listed but shows as being "out of stock", more of the item is expected to be made.

America Online[1] is a song by The Midnight. It is the first single and second track from their album Monsters. The single was released on May 13, 2019.[2]
The song was written by band members Tim McEwan and Tyler Lyle and produced by McEwan. It has a running time of five minutes and 49 seconds and is in the key of B minor.
During a tour stop in the Spring 2019 Tour about a month before the single's release, the band talked with NewRetroWave about America Online:[3]In an interview with Magnetic Magazine after the release of Monsters, The Midnight further stated:[4]As a kid you’re sort of [disconnected] from the world… But when you’re in your teenage years, everything is sort of inner-conflict, relationships, all happening at once. The tensions of romantic love, acceptance in groups and things like that. …it’s not a sunset right? It’s more of a sort of blog track. I love going on vaporwave track playlists on youtube. I love the low-grade, low-fi, bitcrushed sound – it’s like that but with a bit more of a cleaner palette, a cleaner mix. So, that one will set the tone. Tyler is definitely on it, but in a bit more of a…vocodery way.
Tim: This sets the tone for our album. We’re in the era of connectivity. Gone are the days of being a kid, riding around on bikes, exploring the world around you. You’re a teen now and your nights are spent online in your bedroom, logged onto chat rooms, while the door to your parents is shut and you are searching for your own identity.
Tyler: This track was basically done and we’d decided to do it as an instrumental, but at the last minute I decided to try and write something. By that time we knew what the album was about roughly. This became the premise of the record- is love necessarily reciprocal- is hate? What is intimacy without proximity? Are we really connected at the bottom of all of this, especially when “all of this” is mediated by so many layers that seem un-human.
According to McEwan, the synth used in the opening of America Online is Serum with EchoMelt 2 added to get the uneven tape jitter effect.[5] The vocoder used is a mix of VocalSynth 2 from iZotope and BitSpeek.
The date on the single artwork for America Online is August 6, 1991, which is the day the world's first website was published by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN.[6][7]
