New York artist midnight has been prevalent the past few years with a consistent string of releases—all of which have been imbued with a smoldering electronic-soul sound. Today, he continues that streak, teaming up once again with the incredible production talents of ylxr for his elemental new track, “Promethium”. Like the stories from the Greek mythology from which this title derives its name, "Promethium" feels like it balances on the precipice between two esoteric planes. Its vocals are equal parts unsettling and alluring, and its muted low-end distortions act to disorientate, while the living aspects of midnight’s falsetto keep us grounded as well. It's this synthesis of the natural and digital planes that gives the track an otherworldly quality, and it's why we encourage you to listen to it below, today.
