Following the massive success of their last single Little Miss America—50,000 streams and counting—indie folk-rock band Josh Orange has released the title track from their album Midnight Lights. The band continues to go from strength to strength, with their track I Will Follow You reaching the Number 1 spot on the AMRAP Metro Charts in September/October 2020, and Little Miss America attracting extensive play on Double & Triple J radio. In 2020 the band received their most radio and online coverage to date. Hailing from Glebe in Sydney’s west Josh Orange is Gordon Burke (Vocals/Guitars/Keys), Andrew Wass (Guitar/Vocals), Alex Miller (Drums) and currently on bass guitar Gavin Perkins. Midnight Lights is a significant release for the band and will undoubtedly propel them into the next level of their career. The chorus’s soaring hook is bookended by a driving bass part aligned with a hypnotic accented drum groove, the vocal performance achieving emotional resonance via the track’s dynamism and energy. Midnight Lights mirrors the sense of escapism and desire we can all identify with sometimes, as it reaches for the liberating, beating heart of the world. The track’s introduction steadily builds from the rhythm section’s solid feel to the recurring theme with the band in full flight before the first verse kicks in. A range of tasteful guitar parts and inventive musical nuances surround the restrained yet authoritative vocal performance. The chorus is hooky and full-bodied without sounding overly dramatic, its melodic power subtle yet effective. Midnight Lights faithfully reproduces the band’s live sound, and as the group has revealed, ‘We love what we do, we are a gang of brothers that are all fighting for the same goal – great songs. The live show is where we shine the most: it’s unpredictable, it’s always a huge buzz and we look forward to taking the new album on to a stage soon’. At once lyrical and uplifting, Midnight Lights is sure to eclipse the band’s previous successes and receive unparalleled attention on radio and streaming sites worldwide. The new single is from their forthcoming album Midnight Lights due out on February 12th, 2021.
