Midnight Plus One - Unlearn Everything NF-015/LFR-009
Info
Like a will o’ the wisp over a murky marsh, Midnight Plus One finds light in the dark and dark in the light. Casey Cook’s haunting voice rides ominous throbs of unrelenting energy pulsed forward by John Bowman on drums and Nick Senese on guitar.
Unlearn Everything offers up ten bewitching new tracks creeping in with a brooding tension and Cook's lilting, breathy vocals. Swirling atmospherics and a thunderous beat give way to tides of crashing guitars and a pummeling rhythm section.
Imagine if Perfect Pussy incorporated elements of shoegaze and dream pop into its sound. Or what if Young Prisms embraced a more caustic, turbulent punk aesthetic?
Comparisons like this usually contain a thread of truth but are ultimately futile; there's really no descriptor that adequately encapsulates Midnight Plus One's singular sound and the band has tapped into something that feels imminently dangerous yet undeniably engaging.
