Really want to find out who published this, so I can track down at least a recording of it. Followed by a long round of la la la la's literally sung, before going through the whole thing again. The Lord hath spoken in his mighty word, and he will now perform it, he will turn our sorrows into joys, we shall never know defeat. Lyrics went along the lines of: Shout for joy, oh heaven and Earth break forth in songs to his mighty power, our god is coming to rule with authority and set all the captives free. It had a very Jewish sound to it, and was very upbeat and fast tempo. It was either an individual anthem, or in a book of songs arranged for a choir. The song was titled 'Shout For Joy,' but there are many different songs by that title, and I can't find this particular one. I have a permanent case of larngxygitis so I don't want to try and sing it, as it probably wouldn't help much anyway. Across its discography, Highly Suspect’s music is carried by the boldness of its sound, and “The Midnight Demon Club” is no exception.Christian music I once sang in a choir. To its benefit, it refuses to compromise. Its appeal is in the feeling of the music, the grandiosity and scope of the performance. “The Midnight Demon Club” succeeds in many of the same ways as Highly Suspect’s previous work. The entire track is drenched in reverb, and the vocals feature a heavy delay which fills the scarce instrumentals while giving the feeling of space. The drums are particularly sparse, with a snare backbeat and understated cymbals. It takes its time, never pushing ahead of the beat. The album closes on a similarly bold note with “Evangeline.” It pairs a leisurely tempo with intense instrumentals to create a heavy sound that serves the tune well. The chorus’ incessant repetition of “shut up, move” shows the narrator’s anger, while the verses reflect more of his melancholy. The intensity of the texture is matched by the lyrics, which furiously long for a past relationship. As incongruous as it may be, however, it doesn’t depart enough from its signature sound to alienate listeners. “Pink Lullabye” showcases a death-metal-esque sound foreign to Highly Suspect’s discography. Immediately following is another deviation, this time in the other direction. This song certainly departs from the typical Highly Suspect formula but demonstrates that they have more in the tank. While the exact meaning isn’t clear, the imagery is striking and the vow to “try it again” represents a deep and unceasing love for this wild-eyed son. He tells him that he loves him and promises to do so again. They tell of infinite roads upon which the narrator meets the titular wild-eyed son. The lyrics of “Wild Eyed Son” are esoteric but in a poignant fashion. Highly Suspect’s bassist, Rich Meyer, is known to sing occasionally in its live performances and stripped-down sessions, but this is the first appearance of a new vocalist in the band’s studio work. On the complete opposite end of the spectrum is “Wild Eyed Son,” which utilizes an acoustic guitar and soft strings in its instrumentals, as well as a different lead vocalist. The hi-hat follows the guitar, playing constant triplets over an intense backbeat and creating a groove that sounds full while leaving room for other timbres. The track features pounding bass and drums with a triplet guitar melody that provides a strong motif to the relatively simple harmonic movement. It’s a bold and unexpected start to the album and provides the track with a sense of urgency right from the beginning.įollowing “The Sound” is arguably the album’s strongest track, “Natural Born Killer.” Released as the debut single, it mimics the beginning of “The Sound,” with a softer introduction before the forceful entrance of the song’s main texture. “The Midnight Demon Club” opens in spectacular fashion with “The Sound.” After a brief period of quiet, the distorted guitars and busy drums crash down upon the listener in an almost-jarring fashion. ![]()
