The Midnight is an American synthwave band composed of Atlanta-based singer-songwriter Tyler Lyle and Portland-based Danish producer, songwriter, and singer Tim McEwan.

The band's motto is "mono no aware" (物の哀れ), a Japanese phrase that loosely translates to "a sense of nostalgic wistfulness and the awareness that nothing lasts forever"

The band was formed as a result of Lyle and McEwan meeting during a co-writing workshop in 2012 in North Hollywood, Los Angeles. Inspired in part by the score for Drive, and the retro synth genre growing around its release, the pair wrote two singles, "WeMoveForward" and "Gloria", that would be released two years later in 2014 as part of their debut EP titled Days of Thunder.

The Midnight announced a deluxe version of Syndicate with six additional songs was releasing on May 15, 2026. The expanded album features new songs, unreleased demos, and remixes including their latest single "Love Is an Ocean (Chromeo Remix)". They are here tonight to support this new album.
