Right Next to the willow tree and your future grave
On the crest of the hill

Channeling the creative energies of Connecticut’s bustling artistic scene, Midnight Psychic has made a vibrant splash in the musical cosmos. The duo of Jayson Munro and George Moore, united by years of friendship and a mutual love for the art of songcraft, launched this dynamic collaboration as the calendar flipped to 2022. Together, they embarked on a fearless journey, creating a musical project with a mission as daring as their shared dreams.

Their objective? To encapsulate the stark contrasts that lurk in the shadowy ruins of late capitalist society.  Midnight Psychic’s latest single, “You Should Move On”, is a harmonious blend of aesthetic allure and existential horror, mirroring the paradoxical beauty and trepidation that coexist in our modern age’s debris…a hauntingly melodic reflection on the disquiet that lingers amidst the crumbling columns of consumer culture. They describe their music as “goth rock inspired by abandoned shopping malls, clown paintings and window blinds.”

Munro’s richly resonant baritone and guitar craft the compelling narrative, while Moore’s bass line provides the resonating backbone. This combination intertwines with the nostalgic hums of a programmed keyboard and the pulsating rhythm of an 80s drum machine, creating an aural tapestry reminiscent of an earlier era.  This harmonious blend might ring a familiar note for admirers of similar artists — the darkly melodic undercurrents of Twin Tribes, the synth-driven universe of Drab Majesty, and the icy, melancholy of Lebanon Hanover.

Listen to “You Should Move On” below:

The narrative, painted with dark lyrical strokes, delves into imagery of a desolate fall and a sinister glow from within, framing a tale of unsettling transformation and loss. The song is a heart-wrenching plea to move on, underscored by the grim monstrosity of rotting from the inside, and the bittersweet contradiction of blood and a lover’s kiss. Drenched in despondency, the lyrics speak of an ancient pain, a burden that haunts, ending on an ambiguously hopeful note, a potential release from torment. This powerful piece thrives in the balance between light and darkness, sweetness and savagery, evoking raw, visceral emotion. It’s a poignant exploration of human resilience, loneliness, and the dark allure of the unknown.

“We started off with a frantic and bass line and lyrics started to emerge—horror movie cult violence combined with morbid introspection,” says the band. “All of this to the rhythm of our go-to favs for 80s drum machines, the RX5 and the Linn. Hovering over it all are some shimmery guitar and synth tracks to add to the high drama. We like playing the song live, since it has an odd way of sounding fast and slow at the same time.”
