Midnight Movies - Nights

Midnight Movies are one of those bands that, for some reason or another, seem to be lost in my musical collection. Every time I get something new from them I am impressed with it, listen to it a lot and then pack it away only to dig it out again when something new from the Los Angeles band appears. I can't explain it - Source

New Midnight Movies - "Nights In White Satin" (Stereogum Premiere)

Midnight Movies give the Moody Blues moody treatment in their fairly faithful cover of "Nights In White Satin." Faithful, except that it's sung by a woman, Gena Olivier. The dark L.A. psychedelic pop-rockers wisely left off the spoken-word poetry "Late Lament," which you can hear at the six-minute mark of the original recording. (We always thought that moment was hilarious when we heard it on rock radio.) Anyhow, this is part of the Movies' upcoming six-song, digital + vinyl Nights EP, which follows their sophomore album, Lion The Girl. The EP also includes "Nights In What Satin" sung in French ("Mes Reves Satin"), two remixes of a pair of Lion tracks (Nick Zinner on "Souvenirs" and James Iha on "Patient Eye," which you can download here), and two previously unreleased Lion session tracks.
