“Dazzling summer jam…an irresistible listen, effortlessly riding a wave between shiny pop and rock ‘n’ roll.” – Variance
“A fluffy hug of indie rock touched with soulful harmonies, funk rockish guitar licks and blessed by a synth wave softness. The production feels like the all inclusive hybrid funk rock jams of the 70’s with a twist of big pop making it timeless.” – American Pancake
“‘Certainly a welcome slice of escapism.” – American Songwriter
“Lush” – Rolling Stone
“Shimmering” – Billboard
AUGUST 21, 2020 (NASHVILLE, TN) — The Brummies, Nashville-based rock trio, who earlier this summer graced us with the upbeat single “
Sunshine,” are rounding out the season with a new dose of escapism with the 70s tinged “
After Midnight.”
LISTEN / SHARE “AFTER MIDNIGHT”
HERE“After Midnight” swelters in the heat of a late night dancehall ruled by moonlight and emotions on high. “This is our dark disco song… a great hook up jam,” remarks Jacob. Trevor continues, “It started with me playing this rhythm on keys one night. At first, it was this long rocking jam that went into this dark halftime outro.”
“It was particularly fun. I was looking for something that deviated from the main melody in the chorus” John explains of the harmonies. “This song started on a synth, which is the first thing you hear in the song. That was always compelling and it eventually evolved into what is now ‘After Midnight’.”
Variance Magazine debuted “After Midnight” this week, calling it “an irresistible listen,” and saying that “it might seem like summer is quickly disappearing (or maybe it feels like it never arrived), but ‘After Midnight’ may just have you thinking twice about that, delivering the perfect escape from these weird times.”
Only two years ago, The Brummies made their debut in 2018 with the full-length album Eternal Reach, which received high praise from critics and featured GRAMMY Award-winning singer-songwriter Kacey Musgraves on the song “Drive Away.” The band returned this year with “
Hillside,” which was featured in the trailer for
Dads, a film-festival favorite directed by Bryce Dallas Howard. Their last single “Sunshine” captured the essence of the late Bill Withers and now “After Midnight” takes listeners to the darkside.
The Brummies are composed of John Davidson, Jacob Bryant, and Trevor Davis. Known for their fresh blend of urgent rock & roll, dreamy indie-folk, and piercing songwriting, the band has a timeless sound crafted by three players in possession of an almost telekinetic musical shorthand.
