For fans of: Ambient Downer Pop
What they're saying: At Stereogum Tom Breihan nicely encapsulates what Luminol is all about: “Denver DIY musician Madeline Johnston makes a sort of hazy, contemplative, slower-than-slowcore form of ambient indie rock that she calls “heaven metal”… Midwife’s music still feels totally intimate and personal, like a set of internal landscapes.” From Bust’s Addison Herron-Wheeler: “Themes of depression, confinement, and claustrophobia work together to create the perfect time capsule for this particular moment.“ And this praise from a glowing review by Jon Buckland at Echoes & Dust: “Madeline Johnston so succinctly captures a particular sense of heartbreak.”
What we say: Another beautiful record from Midwife, what more is there to say just listen to it. - K
