I’ve stumbled across Midnight Faces, a Los Angeles trio that crafts catchy 80’s dream pop layered in synths and an addicting vocal. After reading several reviews of the band, it became noticeable that the indie act is hard to describe, a great achievement of course in a climate of pop drivel.

Guitarist Matthew Doty notes “We are admittedly terrible at talking about our music in any serious way,” he says. “It’s a self-deprecating disease and a result of living in Los Angeles where everyone can’t wait to tell you how they hung the stars. We’re proud of the work we put into this record and are grateful for the skilled humans who added their touch to Heavenly Bodies. It’s a sincere attempt at our own thing. And for the record — we hung the stars.”

Having just wrapped up a month long residency at the Bootleg Theater, the new wave act has won over tastemakers sites including Consequence Of Sound, Earmilk, and Nylon.

Check out the track Heavenly Bodies that comes off the latest album.
