The Midnight is an American synthwave band composed of Tyler Lyle (a songwriter from the Deep South) and Tim McEwan (a producer from Denmark). Their music is a reverent ode to the sounds of the 1980s, blending the essence of synth-heavy film scores and arcade soundscapes with a penchant for memorable pop hooks, echoing guitars, and lush electronic textures. Since their formation in 2012, The Midnight has emerged as a flagbearer of the genre, encapsulating the nostalgic appeal of synth-heavy music and the emotions tied to the universal themes of youth, love, and the contemplation of existence.

The Midnight's body of work is marked by a series of evocative releases that have gradually earned them a dedicated following. Their recent tracks, including "Red, White and Bruised: The Midnight Live" and "Heroes," exemplify their talent for crafting cinematic live experiences and recording art that connects with fans across different mediums. They stand out with other entries like "Land Locked Heart" from the Road 96: Mile 0 soundtrack, showcasing their versatility and ability to tailor their sound to narrative-driven content. The Midnight's songs such as "Heart Worth Breaking" and "Change Your Heart or Die" continue to expand their discography with thematic depth and sonic growth, ensnaring listeners with tales of passion and the tenacity of the human spirit wrapped in their signature synth-driven sound.
