Nottingham psych-pop specialists Midnight Rodeo share brand new offering ‘Daisy’ (video here), marking the second preview from forthcoming debut LP ‘Chaos Era’ (pre-order here), set for release July 11th via FatCat Records (Sigur Rós, Animal Collective, Frightened Rabbit, The Twilight Sad).

A collective of five close friends who met on the city’s live circuit, Midnight Rodeo have released five singles to date, gaining widespread acclaim from the press community (Brooklyn Vegan, Clash, DIY, Dork, Rough Trade, So Young, The Independent, Under The Radar), as well as ticking off multiple shows across the UK and Europe (with three hometown sell–outs) as fanfare continues to grow.

Gearing up for the release of their debut extended release, the group’s unique sound combines a powerful groove laden rhythm section, alongside jangly guitars, theremin-esque synths and booming organs, all held together with the ethereal, honeyed vocals of enigmatic frontwoman Maddy Chamberlain. Krauty and latin-esque grooves are juxtaposed with powerful psych-pop garage floor-fillers, with their material to date both hypnotic and chaotic in equal measure.

Mixed by Grammy Award-winning mixing engineer Claudius Mittendorfer (Sorry, Temples, Parquet Courts) and mastered by John Webber (David Bowie, Ash, Coach Party, Junodream), Midnight Rodeo’s forthcoming album will be accompanied by a full UK and European tour kicking off in September this year, preceded by several festival appearances.

Detailing their second LP reveal, the band stated: “‘Daisy’ is about that moment in a relationship when you realise you no longer want to be in it and deserve better. Nothing will come to save you; you have to do it yourself. It’s about learning to be patient with yourself in those experiences and learning to take the time to get to know yourself again.”

Midnight Rodeo’s ‘Daisy’ is out now via FatCat Records and available on all digital platforms.

Midnight Rodeo is Maddy Chamberlain (vocals, tambourine), Jim McBride (guitar, vocals), Harry Taylor (bass), Ferg Moran (drums)
