Midnight Legs // Marathon Lungs“Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent.” Perhaps it is in aspiring to understand this musing from the brilliant Victor Hugo that the direction of Midnight Legs // Marathon Lungs has been influenced. Choosing to let their instruments be the main contributors in shaping the emotive aura they wish to create, they refrain from subscribing to the traditional vocals-prominent aesthetic used by most bands. They stand to prove that a guitar voicing, a bass chord, or a snare-drum hit can together convey what words fail to do. However, they don’t completely exclude the human voice from their music; it does sparsely grace their songs, which distinguishes them from other instrumental rock artists. The melodies sang and the words uttered over their compositions gently express what their absence would be incapable of. This approach and this sound make Midnight Legs // Marathon Lungs a unique experience for the listener, and a reflective moment where one may feel through music in a distinct and different way. |
