The first track that kicks in when clicking yourself into Midnight Daydream’s Spotify is a industrial-tinged instrumental banger called “Welcome.” This, as it turns out, is a cool little misdirect. By the time “Losing Faith” leaps out like a cousin at an intervention, we’re completely disarmed.

The old bait and switch. In fact, though, Midnight Daydream’s electronic-heavy rap-metal is well-constructed, cleverly produced and excellently performed. Linkin Park is the obvious reference point and, should Midnight Dream see success, one suspects that they’ll get sick of hearing about it. But the songs are catchy, crunchy, and not without lyrical depth.
