Midnight Soundtrack is a new
electronic rock band featuring Marcio Novelli, who was reviewed as a solo
artist in March.
The
electronic aspects seem to bring out a more mature and darker side. I'm not
even sure that the content is so different, but with track titles like
"Walk of Shame", "I Want To Have Your Abortion" and one
more that I'm not comfortable typing, there is a harsher feel to this album.
There is a theme of relationships not working out, and the resulting disappointment
and resentment. This can be most felt on "Why I Never".
The
songs are still danceable. There is a good sense of melody, and not only is
there still tender aching but there is still emotional soaring, no matter what
goes wrong.
Midnight Soundtrack is only available for preorder until September
1st (Novelli directed me to a preview), but some tracks are up on Bandcamp and
Youtube. "Eleven Fifty Nine" is available on
both, and is a good starting point. There has also been a chance to win a free album
via the band's Twitter, so there are some opportunities available now.
For
pre-release there is already a strong web presence. Relevant links are below.
