The City's Backyard Ep 51 New York City's electronic act Midnight Choir! We chat with DarkWave musician Patrick Bobilin about his new LP "Loverboy Molotov" plus the new track "Need You Tonight" (INXS Cover) and more!

NYC electronic act MIDNIGHTCHOIR release their second album, Loverboy Molotov, a follow-up to 2016’s THE CROWN! As a follow-up to their last single release — "Molotov," shared alongside an accompanying music video (directed and edited by lead vocalist and songwriter Patrick Bobilin) and a B-Side cover of Bauhaus' "Bela Lugosi's Dead" — today, they share the LP's second single, "Lovecrimes," alongside a lyric video and B-Side cover of INXS' "Need You Tonight"Speaking on this new single, Bobilin wrote:"After 7 years of being in the public eye, the only times I felt I could be myself were at NYC dance bars like Pyramid Club or Saint Vitus. I started traveling to Austin, TX more often to visit a group of friends, free from the political infamy I'd become ensnared in. I recorded it quickly in one night, with the urgency of having to get out of town and shake loose of those tangles. 'Lovecrimes' was inspired by late nights in NYC and dancing at Barbarella in Austin, where they always play INXS on 80's Night. The cover of 'Need You Tonight' was also inspired by those late nights and features guitar from David Simutis who I met at an office job and who I learned was a seasoned indie rock vet, having engineered and played on some of the coolest records of the last 20 years."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vN6AjxspeY
