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.

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. Prior to 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 prior exposure to the burgeoning genre and was inspired by the movie Drive. The first song they wrote together as a duo was WeMoveForward, which was included on their debut EP Days of Thunder.

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”. However, McEwan has continuously expressed a desire to evolve the synthwave genre and not be confined by it. Tyler Lyle has stated several times that the band's philosophy when composing is “combine, not confine”. Influences of genres such as lo-fi, soft rock, trance, and vaporwave can be heard on Monsters, and Lyle's musical background has brought influences of indie folk and Americana to the band's sound as well. Regarding the merging of their individual talents and styles, Lyle has said:

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. 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. McEwan has stated that he commonly begins with presets and then tweaks them to his liking. KONTAKT is used for sampling.

Both McEwan and Lyle use Logic Pro on macOS as their primary Digital Audio Workstation (DAW).Universal Audio interfaces are used to capture their sounds, which are then processed using UAD plugins. 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. 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. 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. 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”.

Production and drums are handled by McEwan, with Lyle providing guitar, lyrics, and vocals. Lyle has stated that he writes on a daily basis, and many lyrics come from a large number of fragments he keeps stored in Evernote. Most of the remaining instrumentation is digital, 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. Lyle ran his guitars through a Kemper profiling amp, and he also used an OP1 for certain synth moments and pads.

Keep on running
He comes alive in metropolis lights when the music's way too loud
Deep in the night it's easy to hide and he's got it all figured out
White satellites getting lost in his eyes but to him she's just another girl
Roll with the tide like the wind and the sky and he'll only let you down
Oooh Jason
Tell me what you're chasin'
Because the night will never give you what you want
Oooh Jason
And if you can't escape it
I hope you find whatever you've been looking for
Where do you go in a town full of ghosts and everybody knows your name
And all the homecoming queens in the small town scenes
They'll offer you a place to stay
Some want forever instead of whenever when they're naked in the light
It's a strange little potion but sometimes the motion almost makes you feel alive

Nikki Florez is her name. Check out Michelle from a band called cannons. That girl has one of the sexiest voices I've ever heard, aside from the two girls I dated who both sang, having girls singing to you and getting standing ovations at bars an such is a hella ego boost. Yeah that's right Miss Jovan, I'm still thinking about ya.

I was born in 1972, grew up in the 1980's. Most of the best years, best memories of my life are from that magical decade. Even those older than me (parents age) agree. The 80's is a past that still feels like it's in the future. The 80's feels new even 35-40 years on. The 80's makes me feel young, it makes me look forward to years in life I no longer have in front of me. It makes me miss a girl that I've never met. It makes me believe in a future that's already passed me by. It's the impossible dream that still feels within reach.....

To my huge surprise I didn't realize that my soul has been in love with the 80s. It makes you wanna dance, love, cry, feel uplifted, angry & in the end at peace. My favorite Netflix series is called Stranger Things & the serious plays a lot of the 80s classics on there in every season. I love all musical genres but the future knows how to pull the 80s forward like it had never past by. 🥰❤️😉 ❤️🥰

Endless Summer album makes it unfair for every single other album on the planet. Every single song is absolutely amazing, awesome, incredible and different... I have never have my ears be treated this well in forever. I'm baffled at just how much I love every single song, and cannot even pick a favorite due to how phucking good every single track is.

This is such a unique take on Synthwave, it's essentially what EDM would sound like if it was sent on a two way trip to the 80's and back. It's got all the right 80's inspired sounds blended with the melody theory of contemporary progressive house.

I really messed up. I found The Midnight and was too dumb to realize I should've made a reaction video to it being an 80's kid. Those are the reactions I want to see to this music. People who grew up in the 80's hearing this sound again for the first time in 30 years with new fresh composition. It's my favorite music on the planet right now. FYI, they absolutely NAIL the feeling of the late 80's/early 90's sound.

@Nostalgia_Addict

You should still make a video about it. Explain how you felt at first upon hearing this, what you thought of it and talk about retrowave as a genre, compare it with 80s music etc. It'll make a great video essay. This genre of music really deserves more attention and love.

Something about The Midnight in particular makes me remember the excitement and vibes I felt being a kid and going to the mall or the movies, it's hard to explain where exactly I heard similar sounds, but I know I did and songs like this bring back a lot of memories I forgot I had.

I had accidently came across this song on my trip to New York last week Sunday & I've been a total fan since finding this band. I was born in 1985 & my parents had played a vast range of music in the home. I am older now & some fragments of sounds tickles my soul an I had to go searching for it. To my huge surprise I didn't realize that my soul has been in love with the 80s. It makes you wanna dance, love, cry, feel uplifted, angry & in the end at peace. My favorite Netflix series is called Stranger Things & the series plays a lot of the 80s classics on there in every season. I love all musical genres but the future knows how to pull the 80s forward like it had never past by.
