Graham Hunt Announces Painting Over Mold

Leave a comment

You might recognize Graham Hunt‘s name as a member of Midnight Reruns, but he’s no stranger to working the solo route; he’s preparing another LP for Forged Artifacts titled Painting Over Mold. At times, the portrayal of this song has a bit of Parquet Courts, at least in regards to the manner in which Hunt delivers his vocals; it has this sort of straightforward enunciation, except when it comes the chorus. In the chorus, you throw in some of that Americana flare and it almost sounds like there’s a bit of Old 97s country stomping pop feels hanging about. The new record hits the street on February 26th, with a limited run on red cassette.

Energetic Rocker from Midnight Reruns

midnightrerunsI want to kick off Monday right for you, and I couldn’t think of a better way to pull it off than with this new single from Midnight Reruns. It probably shouldn’t hurt the band that Tommy Stinson helped record/produce the record, but while that Replacements energy might lay in the way the band plays, their sound has a something else in it that’s got me hooked. I can’t tell if I want to call it an old-school emo feel or just a casual indie rock tune, but regardless, it’s hook-laden, shifting directions multiple times. Their new LP, Force of Nature, is due out on Dusty Medical Records on October 23rd.

Pop Rocking with Midnight Reruns

One comment

midnight rerunsToday’s my Friday. I’ll be off all weekend enjoying our little Fun Fun Fun Festival, so obviously I’m out to get my spirits up. One way I’ve been getting my spirits up lately is by jamming to “King of Pop” by Midnight Reruns. Unfortunately, this isn’t your ode to MJ, but rather Paul Collins, who won my heart over too with his work in The Nerves. You’ll probably benefit most by turning your speakers up way loud in order to get the most out of the sugary sweetness that’s inherent in this song. Their self-titled album is out next week on Good Land Records, so I figured it was best if you knew now.
