Following the release of their fifth album, Cold Waves Divide Us, Scottish post-alt-progressive trio Midas Fall has unveiled a live-in-the-studio recording of ‘In the Morning We’ll Be Someone Else‘.
Filmed at Venice of the North studio in Glasgow, Scotland, it was produced as a taster for dates that took place in Germany and forthcoming ones for the UK – You can check out the vide here at RAMzine.
Midas Fall features Elizabeth Heaton on vocals, guitars, strings, synths, piano, drums, Rowan Burn on guitars, synths, piano, and drums and Michael Hamilton on bass, synths, and drums.
Tracks featured on Cold Waves Divide Us are: ‘In the Morning We’ll Be Someone Else’, ‘I Am Wrong’, ‘Salt’, In This Avalanche’, ‘Point Of Diminishing Return’, ‘Monsters’, ‘Atrophy’, ‘Cold Waves Divide Us’, ‘Little Wooden Boxes’ and ‘Mute’.
Cold Waves Divide Us is available digitally, as well as on CD and a limited pressing of 500 LPs on 180g vinyl (150 black, 350 clear with orange and black splatter) via Monotreme Records.
Earlier this year, they release their third single from the parent album, ‘I Am Wrong’.
Heaton said of the song: “A lot of our music comes from a place of sadness and reflection, and takes its time to build and Layer. ‘I Am Wrong’ comes from a much angrier place. We played around with this more aggressive sound using pounding drums and baritone guitars.
“Lyrically it is about feeling trapped in a situation with someone where you feel never good enough, constantly criticised and like you can never win. When the self-doubt and insecurity turns to the realisation that you are being bullied, the result is a pretty pissed off song.”
‘I Am Wrong’ thunders along on pounding rhythmic drums swirling around heavy swathes of low and delicate melodic highs. It’s available digitally, and you can check out the accompanying video here at RAMzine.
Directed and filmed by Stephen Alexander, the video captures a highly kinetic dance performance by Amber Dollin, ricocheting and contorting to the music against a nocturnal urban landscape.
Heaton commented that: “The video was filmed over the course of a night in Glasgow city centre. It is a nod to the 1981 film Possession where a woman becomes possessed in a Metro station. We are big fans of this era of horror so also wanted to integrate some Dario Argento style FX to add to the drama of the song.”
