- Description
- Tracklist
The Other Side of Midnight feels like a long drive with no destination—ambient synths, slow pulses, and nocturnal melodies drifting in and out of focus.
It’s Johnny Jewel in his most unguarded mode, lingering in mood rather than structure, emotion rather than form.
Best known for his work with Chromatics and Glass Candy, Jewel steps away from pop discipline here in favor of cinematic sprawl. Many of these tracks feel like fragments of imagined films, existing somewhere between soundtrack, dream sequence, and late-night reverie.
Originally released in the wake of Twin Peaks: The Return, the album carries that same sense of haunted calm—lush, restrained, and quietly melancholic. It’s music for empty highways, sleepless hours, and moments when time feels suspended rather than moving forward.
