Trivic: Midnight Express was actually from the Midnight Express EP, recorded by the late and great Shaun O'Callaghan. To me, this early Gyro tune represents everything that is Gyroscope in four minutes and 15 seconds: the brightest lights and the darkest shades.
We were a young, serious, fiercely positive, and desperate bunch of fuckers back in 2003 and 2004 – on social security, and on the road. This tune reminds me of a time when we were really writing songs off the cuff; when we didn't really know or care about song structure, we let the songs write themselves in a way.
Put simply, Midnight Express sounds like four dudes in the same band, playing the same song, at the same time. A lot of bands don't, or have never had that and for this song I'll always be thankful.
