Title: April Story《四月物语》
Artist: Midnight Disappear《南瓜马车》
Release Date: April 26, 2020
Midnight Disappear formed at exactly 5:30 PM (Beijing Time) on April 1st of a certain year. The band insists on continuing to create and make music because otherwise, they won’t know what happens at midnight…
“But she reminded Ella that she must return before midnight because her magic stopped working then.”
The band describes their reality:
“Have you ever had a moment of ‘office anxiety?’ An open office area, whispers between colleagues, decisions between high or low heels, focusing on footsteps, printer noises – Although you used to be full of energy and determination, now you want to go home early. A gray April. Our band’s existence.”
And continues on about how their music has come to represent an inner dialogue:
“Looking out the window of an office area, April is perhaps the best season in Chongqing. Although buildings are close, people’s emotions are so far apart. This thought provokes anxiety in that inexplicable office, my inner mind feeling like it could suddenly collapse at any moment. I desperately try to find a way out of this pile of rubble. The single ‘April Story’ portrays such an inner drama.”
In April 2020, Midnight Disappear re-created their 2018 demo by:
“...integrating this year's state of mind and updating our rhythms and frequencies. Looking back at the two years after our formation, we seem to have walked through and touched many places with tears... But all of it has passed and it was worth it.”
"April Story" will be the first single off of their new album. “Summer Colorful"《蓝语》 and "Blue First Love" 《蓝色初恋》will be released separately from the album’s release.
“...to heal fragile emotions in the warm sun and help us to get out of our own inner haze. Even temporarily. "Blue First Love" was inspired by the character Wang Quansheng in the drama Want to See You《想见你》. The drama tells the story of a same-sex relationship, which related to our band name."
Midnight Disappear’s band name is taken from the lyrics of Mayday's song, "Hug" 《拥抱》.
