“Labyrinth” makes clear she’s carried the best of her previous pop experiments with her - the synth of “1989” and the softer alternative sounds of “folklore” - as she admits as only a songwriter can that a heartbreak “only feels this raw right now, lost in the labyrinth of my mind,” on top of a track featuring Bon Iver-esque electronic trills. “Maroon” is a grown-up and weathered version of “Red,” a dive into lost love with rich descriptions of rust, spilled wine, red lipstick - images Swift is reconjuring with more bite. Track one, “Lavender Haze,” pairs a muffled club beat and high-pitched backing vocals from Antonoff with a stand-out, beckoning melody from Swift. Positioning listeners situationally - in the quiet but thoughtful darkness of night - instead of thematically, feels like a natural creative experiment for a songwriter so prolific that her albums have become synonymous with the pop culture zeitgeist.Īnd with that, comes a tone that is just a little darker, a little more experimental, and always electric. As of 2018, Parkway Drive have released six studio albums, one EP, two DVDs, a split album and one book, titled Ten Years of Parkway Drive.But Swift presents “Midnights” as something different: a collection of songs that don’t necessarily have to go together, but fit together because she has declared them products of late night inspiration.
Parkway Drive are an Australian metalcore band from Byron Bay, New South Wales, formed in 2003. The night grows dark… Darker Still,” stated Winston McCall in a press release about this track released on the 23rd of August, 2022, accompanied by a music video. This song begins with the simplest of human sounds and represents these elements as the musical journey grows to reach its souring crescendo before facing the inevitable conclusion of its journey. The great defining elements that make up our existence. So, we set ourselves the goal very early on like when that riff to come about quite early in process of like ‘This deserves a song worthy of that melody’.” Like it’s been a thing we’ve always wanted to create that but haven’t had the ability to craft it and the time to craft it. Speaking in an interview with Rick Sound, Parkway Drive’s vocalist Winston McCall explained on the 6th of July, 2022, “That concept of the song has been with us for like three albums now, but it’s like it’s been the challenge for us.
