Signing with FatCat Records in 2022, they’ve released four singles to date, and now have their debut album, “\u003cem\u003eChaos Era\u003c\/em\u003e”, ready to go.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExtensive, relentless touring (sold-out hometown shows,The Great Escape, Dot To Dot, and Kendall Calling) created a tight-knit family, their pleasure in playing as an ensemble is instantly evident on the album. When asked about this they’ll explain, “We want people to tap into why we are always smiling on stage.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe songs are collaborative efforts. Their different musical backgrounds result in a genre criss-crossing and totally unique creative collisions. Bassist Harry says, “What we do is Dada-istic. The drums play hooks, the bass plays parts usually taken by brass, the guitar’s playing West Coast psyche over disco rhythms.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten over a prolonged period of time, the songs on the album can be viewed as a kind of coming-of-age “suite”, as the unit of 20-somethings wrestle with subjects such as relationships, shifting social dynamics, changing hopes and dreams. The LP’s title refers to tumultuous personal events they’ve helped each other through. Reinforcing their bonding. With no pointed political agenda, the album is about “escape”. “We want people to dance”, they say.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe band recorded the album with \u003cstrong\u003eSamana\u003c\/strong\u003e’s \u003cstrong\u003eFranklin Mockett\u003c\/strong\u003e. Making full use of the\u003cbr\u003eacclaimed duo’s residential studio, located deep in the Welsh countryside, during an Indian summer heatwave. The aim was to remove all distractions, and, with Mockett’s assistance, capture the group as live, and as analogue, as possible. For 10 days, in sometimes 16 hour sessions, music, incense, and whiskey flowed, while vintage amp valves glowed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJust like the band’s live performances, “\u003cem\u003eChaos Era\u003c\/em\u003e” is packed with a palpable joy. The\u003cbr\u003eexhilaration of creation in each others company. Its punchy production is most definitely meant to be played loud.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FatCat Records","offers":[{"title":"LP - Vinyl","offer_id":54403371041113,"sku":"SDZ-23870","price":27.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/Midnight_Rodeo_-_Chaos_Era_-_2025.jpg?v=1743501446","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/midnight-rodeo-chaos-era","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
