  • MT WARNING releases new single 2/17, new video out now for Midnight Dawn

With his debut album set for release on March 28th, MT Warning reveals the video for his brand new single Midnight Dawn.  Typical of the sprawling desert Rock, that pervades the album, the single is released on 17th February Check it here: DEBUT ALBUM – MIDNIGHT SET – RELEASED 28th MARCH

Mikey Bee was playing a solo show in Australia, when American film-maker Taylor Steele happened to be in the audience and was intrigued by the performance. The film-maker approached the musician with a different way of writing songs.  “How would a song sound from a man sinking into the ocean?” The musician answered with a song washed with anticipation, determined lyrics, and denial.  A discovery of new music was explored.

Together they pushed the idea of a song telling a unique story while being part of a visual story, played out over an album which came to represent life’s cycle – a journey from one side of the day to the other, as much as from one side of life to the end.

The outcome is dynamic, an album that is visually thick, sonically sprawling and lyrically subtle in the most poetic sense. A recording of the interactions between us, what lies just beyond and utilizing music as the movie.
