“Fading Into This Grace” marks Date At Midnight’s first new album since 2016’s “Songs To Fall And Forget.” This release captures a nostalgic yet refreshing Dark-Wave/Post-Punk sound. The guitar revives the quintessential dark, 80s influence, while the Electro arrangements add smoothness and a melodic touch. Few bands manage to evoke the era’s characteristic enthusiasm as effectively. This album stands strong with several standout tracks, though the final two songs, while not bad, feel more floaty and less impactful. (Rating: 8½)

I have been working for over 30 years with Side-line as the main reviewer. My taste is eclectic, uncoventional and I prefer to look for the pearls, even if the bands are completely unknown, thus staying loyal to the Side-Line philosophy of nurturing new talents.

Since you’re here …

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
