Scottish alt/post/progressive-rock outfit Midas Fall release their Fifth studio album, Cold Waves Divide Us on March 8th, 2024 worldwide on Monotreme Records.
Michael Hamilton joins founding members Elizabeth Heaton and Rowan Burn for the follow-up to their 2018 Prog Magazine Awards Limelight Award winning album, Evaporate.
Cold Waves Divide Us sees Midas Fall at their most confidently visceral, each song moving beautifully between quiet and loud, gentle and crushing. This album is a heavier and bigger experience than the last album, says Heaton. We kept the atmospheric strings and 80s synths of Evaporate but wanted to add heavier layered elements, to represent more what we sound like live.
Opener In the Morning Well Be Someone Else starts quietly with serene piano and vocals, ominously ratcheting up the tension to walls of crashing guitars and Heatons soaring vocals. I Am Wrong thunders along on pounding rhythmic drums swirling around heavy swathes of low and delicate melodic highs. On Monsters, the band are more contemplative, with an ethereal beginning making way for gorgeously syncopated guitar and drums, whilst Cold Waves Divide Us builds slower, allowing Heatons voice to gracefully float over the growing force beneath it. Avalanche is a bittersweet lullabye showcasing Heatons heart-rending vocals in one of the quieter moments on the album. Point of Diminishing Return sees a more electronic influence, with glittering shimmered synths taking the space where guitar melodies were, but with all of the Post-Rock beauty that the duo are known for, something Little Wooden Boxes showcases perfectly, expertly hovering between gentle clean guitar and piano, and exhilarating, uplifting full-band, full-bore epic.
