It starts sometime around midnight

I know that the Airborne Toxic Event is getting a lot of attention and hype, but it is well worth it. They are a solid band. Strangely the front man is a former music critic turned author turned lyricist. Result? The Airborne Toxic Event.

Here is an interview on NPR's World Cafe. They perform three songs that really show their diversity. Their sudden rise is well deserved.

His voice can be soft or strong. Sometime around midnight is a strong ballad that feels emotional yet edgy.
The other two are softer, but all of them have intense lyrics that wring my heart immediately.

Enjoy =)
