Synth-Pop duo The Midnight will be releasing new album Syndicate on October 3, 2025 via Ultra Records. Made up of singer/songwriter Tyler Lyle and Producer/multi-instrumentalist Tim McEwan, The Midnight have also shared the single “Summer’s Ending Soon,” the closing track on the 17-song collection.

As the real summer draws to a close, “Summer’s Ending Soon” speaks to that “bittersweet seasonal shift.” The cinematic track hopes to evoke the filmic works of John Hughes. The mood underlines the album’s themes of “memory, impermanence, and connection,” leaving listeners with “a sense of both closure and continuation.”

The album, a 17-track opus two years in the making, was mastered by Cass Irvine (Galantis, Jax Jones) and features collaborations with Bonnie McKee, Carpenter Brut, Jupiter Winter, and multiple co-writes with Dan the Automator.

Where the band’s past albums leaned into Pop-Rock or “nostalgic reflection,” Syndicate “looks outward, imagining a future where the only thing left of Earth is a signal, a broadcast of songs and stories.”

The release follows the band’s sold-out 2024 North American co-headlining tour with Chromeo, runs in Australia and India, and the 10th anniversary of debut EP Days of Thunder. The Midnight continue their evolution with a Fall UK/EU tour (dates below).
