Style: Synthwave
Primary Emotions/Themes: Winding songs that build over time to create the prefect driving music
Thoughts: Days of Thunder is a mediocre moving about driving form the 80's with Tom Cruise. Days of Thunder is also a fantastic debut EP from The Midnight. Of the two it should be obvious that I prefer the musical rendition.
The music on Days of Thunder is unlike anything else The Midnight as produced. The songs are long, they build and evolve over time until they become this all encompassing mass of synths. The music compels me to move, to drive at a high rate of speed. Or to stay absolutely still and let my imagination take me off into the sunset.
The Midnight have been hit or miss for me with their discography, but their debut is exceptionally well done. It's synthwave without a doubt, but the band has managed to create a variation of the genre that stands out. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to flip the record again.
