Today's Song: Midnight Magic "Threshold" (Premiere)
Brooklyn's Midnight Magic is a nine-piece contemporary disco band, complete with a horn section and a theatrical frontwoman, Tiffany Roth, whose combination of chops and camp resembles an off off off Broadway Bette Midler. Their debut album, Walking The Midnight Streets, is out today (via a PledgeMusic donation) and includes their best-known song "Beam Me Up," which has knocked around for over a year, though it sounds like it's been decades.
One song that isn't on the album is the one below. B-side "Threshold" very much a b-side, a weird and woozy, a conscious experimentation with rawness of early house. For a band that always sounds fully fleshed out, that does electronic disco with a full set of traditional instruments, their naivete here is convincing.
