Ahead of his debut LP release on May 27, Rush Midnight shares a remix of his album “Closer” by Tokyo Police Club. He will also be heading out on a US and Canadian tour soon, dates below.
While on tour across Europe and Australia early 2010, Russ Manning began to write songs in 2 star hotel rooms and mixing the songs in the van. By 2012 Russ had discovered a clear voice of New York in the evening; an alter ego exploration called Rush Midnight. New York label Cascine released Rush Midnight’s debut EP +1 in October 2012 with production support from George Lewis Jr. Born and raised in Brooklyn, Rush’s influences span from Minneapolis ’80s funk group Change, to The Police and Sade.
Rush Midnight signed with Last Gang Records in early 2014 with announcement of a forthcoming debut LP executive produced by Jesse F Keeler (Death From Above 1979/MSTRKRFT). He quickly gained support from The Fader, Stereogum, Noisey, and many more. His first two singles, “In Your Room” and “Closer” can be heard on
