“Crisp, synth-lined pop drama.” – SPIN
“This record is solid from start to finish.” – Nylon Guys
“Full of air and catchiness.” – The Onion A.V. Club
Matt Doty, one half-of LA based duo Midnight Faces with Philip Stancil says of the “Hold Tight” video ,“it was pretty impulsive overall.” The clip is a joyous tour of Los Angeles that sees the Midnight Faces guys dancing in the Saddleback Butte State Park desert, the fields of Mugu State Park, the Angeles National Forest mountains, downtown, and at the Santa Monica beach.
“We set aside a few days to shoot it and headed out to the desert,” Doty says. “After a few shots, we decided we were having more fun dancing than walking around.” It’s fun for the viewer, too. The clip perfectly captures the humanity behind the insular circumstances of the album’s creation.
Midnight Faces new album, The Fire Is Gone, is out now.
