Midas Fall announce new album ‘Cold Waves Divide Us’

MIDAS FALL have announced a new album!

Titled Cold Waves Divide Us, the upcoming album from the Scottish post-rock band is the long-awaited follow-up to 2018’s Evaporate, and is scheduled to be released in March next year, via Monotreme Records.

“This album is a heavier and bigger experience than the last album,” says Elizabeth Heaton from the band about the upcoming album. “We kept the atmospheric strings and 80s synths of Evaporate but wanted to add heavier layered elements, to represent more what we sound like live.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; the title track Cold Waves Divide Us. The new music video was created by Sharon Ritossa and Gabriele Ottino of Riot Studio.

Speaking about the new music video, Ottino says, “we aimed to imbue this music video with the ambiance of a dystopian jungle. Nature is genetically altered by the virus of a hypercapitalist and hyperproductive civilization, where technology begins to gain consciousness. Instead of annihilating humans and plants, it opts to adapt and modify itself to exist within the bodies and limbs of those who have survived Earth’s catastrophes. No one perishes, no one lives as they did before; everything undergoes transformation. The technique used is a mixed technique, combining footage, 3D, pure generative, and they were edited to create a narrative foundation. The next step involved passing various sections of the video through the AI Stable Diffusion tool to create surreal and unique environments, suggestions, forms, and textures.”
