Explained simply
Midnight Generation are a Mexican band whose music blends disco and funk, styles built around dance rhythms, bass and groove. Their synth-led sound also draws on French Touch, a style of electronic dance music associated with French artists, and the disco and pop of the late 1970s and 1980s.
The band’s song “Norway” takes its inspiration from a stop in a small Norwegian fishing village and tells of an impossible love and the hope of returning there with someone special. Its video was filmed in one continuous wide shot at a park in Texcoco, near Mexico City, with a vintage van featured throughout.
Midnight Generation have been touring North America with Australian electronic pop group Empire of the Sun and French duo Polo & Pan. Their scheduled Hollywood Bowl appearance places them at one of Los Angeles’s best-known outdoor concert venues.
