The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from Markus Midnight. "Northern Heat" comes off the Canadian artist's new album, Night Work, out August 1st on vinyl format. Midnight has been crafting his unique brand of synth pop for the past 13 years and Night Work explores local and global themes, using oblique vocals which not so subtly hint about living in a region that is obsessed with oil and harvesting natural resources - at any cost. The artwork portrays a Mad Max apocalyptic nightmare that Markus has envisioned since childhood, in a place where the pump jack and oil derrick are glamorized ahead of everything else.
Today we bring you the album's lead track, "Northern Heat" which is an infectious piece that touches on the seemingly obliviousness of residents to and unfolding catastrophe, all with an otherwise upbeat energy.
