Midnight Masses was started in the spring of 2008 by Autry Fulbright and Jason Reece shortly after the death of Autry’s father. The sudden loss compelled him to seek solace

through music and travel with his friends.One of his friends was Gerrard Smith of TV on the Radio who had recently begun documenting various Brooklyn musicians in his home studio. Midnight Masses quickly grew from a bedroom project to a multi-media collective with a revolving cast of musicians, filmmakers, and visual artists with Jason Reece contributing when not occupied with …And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead. That makes Midnight Masses a quite diverse act with different inspirations. This totally reflects in their music. After an EP the band Midnight Masses has now finally released their debut album “Departures”. Coming with eleven tracks the Americans show you what they got. And convince. Merely fifty minutes filled with melodic rock music that balances on the edge of psychedelic and indie. Unique and calming music that never bores but makes you feel good from within. Beautiful lyrics guide your mind to dreams and long forgotten worlds.

“Departures” lets you forget the stress of the day, the anger of mankind. Peace and quite crawls underneath your skin and spreads. Softly sung vocals and catchy melodies definitely get you to sway along to the music. A must have for all fans of music that does not fit into one genre only. Midnight Masses is a very interesting and divers music band that you should definitely check out, even if it is for one song only. “Departures” is out now.
