about

Midnight Magpie is more than your usual set up. Unprotected sax, smooth clarinet, and jazz piano float over their grooving bass lines and unexpected rhythms. Who knows what will happen next?

lyrics

"My cushioned world, has no wooden floors, paranoia infects my thoughts, and corrupts my tongue, uncertainty is a blind man on a tightrope.

What do you say, when your loved one is crumbling? We got carried away, we flew mighty high with candlewax wings, and out of the fray, heavy thuds and droplets tumbling, oh how I've wasted myself on the little things.

I've suffered... nothing, it's not me that has been ravaged by fiends, it puts me to shame how i've been complaining, when ghosts of the past do not haunt my dreams, so forgive my sins, I am not the one who should need to lean, oh how I've wasted myself on the little things.

What do you do when your loved one is crumbling? What do you do when your loved one is crumbling? We got carried away, we flew mighty high. What do you do when your loved one is crumbling? No no no no no What do you do? No no no no no no no no no. Babudabudabaday, oh your loved one is crumbling what do you say?. (scatting).

I've suffered... nothing, it's not me that has been ravaged by fiends, it puts me to shame how i've been complaining, when ghosts of the past do not haunt my dreams, so forgive my sins, I am not the one who should need to lean, oh how I've wasted myself on the little things.

(Woah, scatting, and other strange noises)"

Midnight Magpie Berlin, Germany

More than your usual set up. Unprotected sax, smooth clarinet, and jazz piano float over grooving bass lines and unexpected rhythms. They fuse this with electronic sounds, melancholic vocals, and guitar that ranges from acoustic finger-picking to screaming electric solos, in an experimental mixture of styles. These elements blend to create a new deviant genre of music ... more
