The Midnight Sun

by C Duncan

supported by

World of Echo Top notch art pop right here. Underrated, for sure.

Rich Hims The relaxed innovation of Architecture seems to have been replaced by an edgier desire to push the boundaries, but the album is nonetheless compelling. Favorite track: Jupiter.

ryan Sensitive secular boys like me need lush choral records like this. Favorite track: Nothing More.

The shining example Beautifully ambient compositions of a divine quality worthy of the finest cathedral's and concert halls , a fantastic album from C Duncan . Favorite track: Do I Hear.

Haagentis Your music is perfect sex while being high, but to the ears, period.

about

Glasgow’s prodigious talent C Duncan released his critically acclaimed and Mercury Prize nominated debut album Architect earlier this year (last summer in the UK.) Now, his follow-up The Midnight Sun sees the bedroom producer return with a more expansive and experimental second offering, blending electronic elements and sweeping synth sounds with his signature layered vocals and dreamy instrumentation.

The album borrows its name from a Twilight Zone episode aired in 1961, in which the Earth’s orbit has been perturbed, causing it to fall slowly towards the sun. “’The Midnight Sun’ is one of my favorite episodes,” Duncan muses, “it embodies the style of Twilight Zone perfectly, which is often claustrophobic, mysterious and unnerving. Like Architect, The Midnight Sun was recorded and produced entirely by C Duncan in his Glasgow flat, using his bedroom studio set-up and gradually adding each layer and each instrument one at a time. Though time-consuming, the process allowed him to lovingly assemble an intricate and subtle collection of songs that pick up where Duncan began with Architect and move toward a cleaner and more precise vision of the Scottish songwriter’s vision. Duncan has heralded the new album as his “most coherent and concise work, sonically.”

The album’s artwork, a painting of a dimly lit staircase, is also a piece by C Duncan, who also happens to be a skilled painter. “This being another album made from home, I wanted the artwork to parallel that.” elaborates the artist. “The paintings I have done for it are of interiors - the stairwell outside my flat to be precise. I spend a lot of time out there thinking about music, and I wanted there to be a very personal element to the artwork.”

The Midnight Sun is decidedly personal, a testament to why he’s been so lavished with praise in his home country and now, on the precipice of this new release, its clear that Duncan will charm the rest of the world as well.

7
by Beach House

supported by 16 fans who also own “The Midnight Sun”

7 Is a diverse dreampop album with shoegazie vibes that offers a meltdown of emotions through the entire record. The tracklist is amazing starting with"Dark Spring", a killer intro and "Last Ride" a 7 minute piece sentimental outro. And boi, are the other tracks as good? You gotta listen it for yourself, it's incredible man. For example, my personal favorite being the melancholic & lyrically-impressive "Drunk In LA". Alex & Victoria; you deserve all thelove.Thankyouforsuchamasterpieceofanalbum<3 Crickey

Aromanticism is an alluring project, both gentle and powerful. Filled with lush soundscapes, tender lyrics and ethereal melodies, this album is fresh and dripping with sensuality. Sumney’s haunting voice cuts beautifully as it moves throughout each song. A lovely work. Eso
