Multi-instrumentalist duo Midnight Faces write songs of hearthbreak in an eerie mellow tone, lead by the achingly beautiful vocals of Phil Stancil. In the video for Fornication, the first single off their debut album of the same name, a man and a wife have a lost a child, or that’s what it leads you to believe until a twist ending is revealed. It uses the bell as a symbolic device, which was used for safety back in the 1800’s just in case a person was mistakenly buried. The visuals are perfectly matched with the song’s catchy shoegazing melody, creating a gut wreenching, emotional piece that could leave one in tears. – Kayla Hay
