“Midnight X” is DISKQ’s post-pandemic exploration of the process of finding new meaning, connections, and identity in a cold apocalyptic landscape. The thematic 90s pop inspired EP centers around characters dancing the night away while being lonely in a city, searching for joy in the fleeting and temporary moments despite the darkness that creates the sense of unease behind us. As people struggle with temporary love, addiction, and excess, there is a sense of humanness in the choreographed motion and loneliness in a city, as if it’s something that unites us rather than isolate us.
