The Midnight are an American synthwave duo based out of Los Angeles, California, composed of producer Tim McEwan and vocalist/guitarist Tyler Lyle. The band formed after McEwan and Lyle met during a co-writing session in 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. In the midst of the trilogy, the band also released the Halloween-themed EP Horror Show in 2020.

They performed their first live show in 2017 and have regularly toured since. Known for being lively and energetic, The Midnight's shows have seen increased production value over the years with continuous additions of touring members and live instruments. The band has also made appearances at several notable music festivals, including Austin City Limits, Music Midtown, and Bonnaroo.

With several appearances on Billboard charts, The Midnight have been one of the most commercially successful synthwave acts. Their music has also appeared in various media forms, including video games, podcasts, and TV.

Career

2012-2016: Beginnings, Days of Thunder, Endless Summer

Prior to forming The Midnight, Tyler Lyle and Tim McEwan were both established musicians. Lyle was an indie-folk singer-songwriter based in the state of Georgia and gained initial notability with several self-released titles, becoming regionally and nationally known. McEwan was a drummer and producer based in Denmark, later becoming a member of the Danish production group Deekay who has written and produced songs for many popular artists.[1]

The pair met for the first time in 2012 at a songwriter’s workshop in North Hollywood organized by Katie Donovan, Lyle’s A&R representative at the time.[2] Before meeting, McEwan had listened to some of Lyle’s previous work and liked Lyle’s folk sound. Despite differing musical backgrounds, they bonded over a mutual love of 80s rock and began to write songs together. After initially struggling to define their sound, McEwan suggested that they compose songs in the synthwave style. McEwan had previous exposure to the burgeoning genre and was inspired by the movie Drive. The first song they wrote together was WeMoveForward,[2][3] which was included on their debut EP Days of Thunder.

Lyle and McEwan in 2014

After the initial meeting in 2012, Lyle and McEwan continued writing and recording together over the next two years. In March 2014, Lyle announced on his Twitter that iAmData (McEwan's moniker at the time) and himself were starting a band called "The Midnight".[4] According to Lyle, the name came from McEwan and himself throwing out random names until they found one that stuck.[5] Other band names that they considered were "Lightyears", "Temporary Tigers", and "The Midnight Tigers."

On July 15, 2014, The Midnight independently released their debut EP Days of Thunder.[6] The EP's description described The Midnight's sound and philosophy:[6]

There is a Japanese term: Mono no aware. It means basically, the sad beauty of seeing time pass - the aching awareness of impermanence. These are the days that we will return to one day in the future only in memories. How do we capture them? How could we possibly be able to fully appreciate them in the present? This project is our attempt to put time under glass. The Midnight is a marriage between a songwriter from the Deep South and a producer from Denmark who both live in Los Angeles. The songs were written in North Hollywood and Santa Monica over two years and represent the first fruit of The Midnight. This is our love song to our city and a testament to the weight these years can hold.

The Midnight began work on a follow-up to Days of Thunder in 2015. Teaser clips of songs being worked on for the record were posted to their social media accounts throughout the year. In August 2015, McEwan said on social media that the release was still several months and away, expressing a desire to "push the envelope on the synthwave genre".[7] A new song, The Equaliser (Not Alone), was released on the Drive Radio compilation Selection Volume 1 in March 2016.

Following the release of the singles Sunset and Vampires in May and June, the next The Midnight record was revealed in July to be a full-length album titled Endless Summer and was released on August 5, 2016.[8] Expanding on their efforts from Days of Thunder, Endless Summer received positive reviews from online media outlets and garnered the band new exposure within the burgeoning synthwave community, with songs like Sunset and Jason becoming staples of the genre.[9][10][11]

2017-2018: First live shows, The Midnight Remixed, and Nocturnal

On August 14, 2017, The Midnight released their first remix album The Midnight Remixed through the label Silk Music.[12] The album contains 12 remixed versions of previously released The Midnight songs, featuring remixes from several well-known names in electronic/progressive house including Mango, Talamanca, Johan Vilborg, and Michael Cassette.

Prior to the release of The Midnight Remixed, Silk Music issued new singles for the songs WeMoveForward, Sunset, and Days of Thunder.[13][14][15] These single releases included the original songs as well as their corresponding remixes that would later be included on the album.

The album charted at number twenty-two on the Billboard Dance/Electronic Albums Chart.[16][17] This was the first time a release by The Midnight charted on Billboard.[18] After the album's release, a fourth and final single for the song Synthetic was released.[19] This single does not include the original song but instead features five remixed versions.

Nocturnal, The Midnight's second album, was independently released on October 13, 2017.[20] The album contains seven tracks and features collaborations with Nikki Flores and Timecop1983. Nocturnal was noted for having a considerably darker sound compared to previous The Midnight releases and received mostly positive reviews from critics.[21][22][23][24][25] The album charted at number seventeen on the Billboard Dance/Electronic Albums Chart after release and the following year it peaked at number 17 on the Billboard Heatseekers Album chart.[26][27]

Nocturnal was preceded by the release of its only single, Crystalline, which was issued on September 22, 2017.[28]

The instrumental version of Nocturnal was released on December 15, 2017.[29]

2018-2020: Kids trilogy begins, second remix album, and Monsters

The Midnight's third album, Kids, was independently released on September 21, 2018.[30] The album contains nine tracks. Featuring a more upbeat and lighter tone compared to Nocturnal, the album received more mixed reviews compared to previous The Midnight offerings[31][32][33][34][35] but was still a successful release for the band, debuting at number one on the Billboard Dance/Electronic Album Sales chart, number twelve on the Dance/Electronic Albums chart, number two on the Heatseekers Albums chart, and number thirteen on the Independent Albums chart.[36][37]

Kids was preceded by the release of three singles. Lost Boy was the first single and was released on July 13, 2018.[38] The second single, America 2, was released on August 3, 2018.[39] The third and final single was Arcade Dreams, releasing on September 7, 2018.[40]

On September 27, 2019, Silk Music released The Midnight's second remix album, The Midnight Remixed 02.[43] The Midnight Remixed 02 features 11 new remixes of previously released The Midnight songs, with contributions from the likes of Timecop1983, Blood Grove & Kikis, and Claes Rosen.

To promote the album's release, Silk Music released three remix singles: Shadows (Uppermost Remix), which released on August 23, 2019,[44] Arcade Dreams (Timecop1983 Remix), which released on September 13, 2019,[45] and Kids (PROFF Dub Remix), which released on September 20, 2019.[46]

The album peaked at number eight on the Billboard Dance/Electronic Albums Chart and number one on the USA iTunes Dance Top Albums Chart.[47]

The Midnight released their fourth album Monsters on July 10, 2020, through the label Counter Records.[48] A continuation of Kids, the album contains 15 tracks and is their largest release to date in terms of the number of songs. It features a collaboration with the Los Angeles based music duo Jupiter Winter on the title track.

Noted for moving the band's sound in a different direction and expanding its horizons, Monsters received mostly positive reviews from critics.[49][50][51][52][53] Also obtaining commercial success, the album charted at number 134 on the Billboard 200,[54] number 12 on the Dance/Electronic Albums chart,[55][56] and number 18 on the Independent Albums chart.[57]

Style and workflow

For most of their career, The Midnight has created a strong and distinct synthwave sound in their music - Tim McEwan once described the band's early albums "as if Miami Vice had a baby with a John Hughes movie."[69] However, McEwan has continuously expressed a desire to evolve the synthwave genre and not be confined by it.[69][70][71][72][73] Tyler Lyle has stated several times that the band's philosophy when composing is "combine, not confine."[70][71][74] Influences of genres such as lo-fi, soft rock, trance, and vaporwave can be heard on Monsters,[71][70] and Lyle's musical background has brought influences of indie folk and Americana to the band's sound as well.[75] Regarding the merging of their individual talents and styles, Lyle has said:[76]

It’s rock and roll with synthesizers. Tim has a keen ear for production, and I can write songs that fit comfortably within the tradition of 20th century classic pop songwriting. Somewhere in the middle things get interesting.

McEwan employs various digital synths in his production, including Serum, Diva, TAL-U-NO-LX, Spire, and Roland Cloud's Jupiter 8 and Juno 106.[69] In mid-2020, he mentioned that his favorite synth to use at the time was U-He's emulation of Prophet-5, known as Repro 5.[70] McEwan has stated that he commonly begins with presets and then tweaks them to his liking.[70] KONTAKT is used for sampling.[77][78] In 2020, both Lyle and McEwan started adding more analog equipment to their audio setups.[79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88] In early 2021, McEwan shared that his current home studio consisted of the following equipment:[89]


Both McEwan and Lyle use Logic Pro on macOS as their primary Digital Audio Workstation (DAW).[90] Universal Audio interfaces are used to capture their sounds, which are then processed using UAD plugins.[91][92] Using the same utilities makes it easier for them to share session files as a significant amount of their work is done remotely, due to living in different areas of the US.[93] However, they will usually get together in the same room a few times during a release's production and will often write and record together while on tour.[94] A release's sound and overall direction are generally created by the two bouncing ideas off each other - McEwan will send Lyle a rough track or beat, which Lyle will then think of lyrics and a title that would go good with the beat, after which McEwan will further build and produce the track.[95] McEwan has stated that the production of a typical The Midnight album takes around three to six months, "from the early gestating part to finish."[96]

Synths, drums, and overall production are handled by McEwan, with Lyle providing guitar, lyrics, and vocals. Lyle has stated that he writes on a daily basis,[97] and many lyrics come from a large number of fragments he keeps stored in Evernote.[98] During a fan question-and-answer session on Twitter prior to the release of Monsters, he mentioned that he "wrote about 250 songs between 2016-2019" and "20 something of those songs got properly demoed/ realistically considered for Monsters."[99] Regarding his general writing process and how he writes for The Midnight, Lyle has said:[100][101]

I write The Midnight lyrically (mostly) as the fantasy that I never experienced. I lean a bit utopian sometimes and let the images get grander than I experienced. I was on the debate team. I had a lisp. I was really into Syphon Filter. The fun is in the make believe.

I write everyday. Some of it goes in The Midnight folder. Some of it goes off into far far away places. It works best when Tim has a cool musical skeleton and I have a cool lyrical skeleton we can smush together and build together.

Most of the remaining instrumentation is digital,[102] but on occasion songs (including most with saxophone and guitar solos) will at first have digital instruments that are then outsourced to other musicians to play live on the track. Thomas Edinger has been the primary saxophone player for The Midnight's releases, and McEwan's brother Oliver has frequently played bass for the band as well.

For live performances, various setups have been used by the band. Lyle stated that the Spring 2019 Tour utilized an Ableton rig, with McEwan using an SPD SX sampling pad and MIDI controller.[103] Lyle ran his guitars through a Kemper profiling amp, and he also used an OP1 for certain synth moments and pads. Most shows will also feature live bass, acoustic, and electric guitars, as well as live saxophone. As of the Change Your Heart Tour, the band's touring lineup consists of McEwan on synths and drums, Lyle on guitar and synths, Lelia Broussard on bass and synths, Justin Klunk on saxophone and synths, and Royce Whittaker on guitar and synths. Lyle is the primary vocalist and the others perform backing vocals. Klunk joined the touring lineup for the Spring leg of the Fall 2021 and Spring 2022 Tour, replacing longtime saxophone player Jesse Molloy, who had been with the band since their first live shows in 2017.[104][105] Broussard joined the band prior to the start of the Fall 2019 Tour[106] and Whittaker joined the lineup full-time during the Change Your Heart Tour. Nikki Flores occasionally appears at some shows as a vocalist, performing her collaborations with the band in addition to singing vocals on Sunset.
