Rush Midnight new EP with a little assist from Twin Shadows

Just when I thought Twin Shadows couldn't be involved in any more projects before the end of the year, I'm introduced to the Rush Midnight's EP.  Rush Midnight is made up of Russell Manning who played with Twin Shadows. This is his own solo effort helped heavily by the producing help of Twin Shadows.  Although this is not a Twin Shadows project, his fingerprints are all over this solid debut EP +1.  

"Crush" has a cool synth sound but with more funky 70'svibe than 80's.   In the layering and the production, you can really see the presence of Twin Shadows.   I think Russel Manning being a bass player gave this song a funkier backbone than Twin Shadows' own LP.

                                      

"The Night Was Young Enough" is another standout track from the EP +1.   Again, you can see the bass playing in the background really driving the groove of this song.  It's synthy rock with a bit more bass funk.
