The Night Game - The Night Game (September 7, 2018) Band • Page 14

Doesn't really grab me as much as the singles from the first record did, but its good. As usual with his work I will wait to see the entire cohesive album before making judgements.

 

II'm not so sure about this "release a whole album 1 song at a time" thing.

 

Okay, this is good.

 

Yeah that IGTV video was something. I just love the atmosphere he's creating.

 

YEP

 

Ooooh I wanna dance with somebody

 

He’s very good at creating an aesthetic for each release. I don’t know if it’s me just being in my 30s now, but the past few years i’ve randomly started getting this feeling of being nostalgic for things i’ve never experienced. I couldn’t place the feeling and I remember when his first album came out I was googling trying to find if there was a word that encapsulated that feeling. Closest I could find was wistful. A lot of The Midnight’s music gives me the same feeling. Idk if i’m the only one who feels this or knows what i’m talking about haha

 

omfg that verse is so fucking smooth and intricate than most on the first album

chorus is very good. very The Band Camino

 

Hahah, I have the exact same feelings when listening to the night game and the midnight! Thanks for putting it into words for me.

 

Damn I like that.

 

Still absolutely baffled as to why The Night Game aren't bigger than they are. All of Martin's BLG fans should dig the music and I would think it also appeals to a mainstream audience. Maybe there's just not enough promo and I know he didn't do much touring for the last album.

New song is pretty much everything I hoped it would be. Classic nostalgia / Summer vibes

 

Just needs time. The songs/albums are awesome.

 

Amazing song. Have not heard the first album. Should fix that soon.

 

Dude you need to fix that now. You'll love it if you loved this.

 

Just watch those Live from YouTube Space videos - you'll fall in love.

 

Song rules! Whilst not as immediate as his debut's singles, it's still solid and it gets me stoked for LP2.

 

I've felt this since I was a young teenager. It's not even just music that'll do it - it could be something like looking at an old website from the 90's.. or old videos and images. The Midnight definitely does that for me too. I used to search for a term as well haha.

I found this:

anemoia - n. nostalgia for a time you've never known. Imagine stepping through the frame into a sepia-tinted haze, where you could sit on the side of the road and watch the locals passing by

 

The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows

This was a dreadful, but awesome read.

 

when Kirin throws the guitar and catches it in time with the crash hit at the end of Bad Girls *chef's kiss*

 

Extremely my shit

 

Yoweee wowweee. One Phone Call is an instant classic

 

And here it is the new single 'One Phone Call':

 

Oh wow, every single song he puts out hits me straight away. This could be the best one yet. The 80s vibes are just unreal

 

The amount of work that went into each of these songs is honestly mind boggling.

 

Song rules as expected and I prefer this to Magic Trick.

That bridge really reminds me of Marianas Trench.
