The Day - Midnight Parade - LP
The Day - Midnight Parade - LP
The Day is where whimsical Dream Pop meets a DIY ethos learned from hardcore. A sparse, springy and rapturous dynamic alternates with a wildly imaginative dream-pop harmony, rock and synths create just as inspiring contrasts as the refreshing, reduced postpunk references. This is continued in the songs by themes that connect and contrast the private and the political as often as possible. The Day's music expresses utopia as well as melancholy in its escapism and thus refuses to be interpreted in an overly fixed way.
"Midnight Parade" has everything you could wish for on an album from this style conglomerate: A sparse, springy and rapturous dynamic alternates with a wildly imaginative dream-pop harmony, rock and synths create just as inspiring contrasts as great sound bursts and artistically contextualizing interludes.
LP comes on 180g black vinyl. Lyric sheet and download code included.
