ALBUMS & Lyrics

A mostly black image with a large, glowing white moon in the center. The moon is rising over a flat, grassy horizon as the black silhouette of a man watches. Above the moon are two menacing white eyes, and beside it are two hands reaching for it. In white text in the top left corner, it reads "Midnight Notion," and white text in the bottom right reads: "Somewhere in Dreamworld."
Somewhere in Dreamworld (2019)

A black and white digital image where the bottom half is all black and the top half is white with a mixture of gray clouds. There are 6 robot-shaped silhouettes marching from left to right, walking on the black bottom half. In the background, there is a looming roman-numerals clock. Large white text reads "March to Midnight," and smaller white text reads: "Midnight Notion."
March to Midnight (2013)

A brown photo album with golden highlights. There is a golden roman-numerals clock in the center, and bold yellow text in the middle of the clock reads "Midnight Notion." Flowy yellow text at the bottom reads: "The Archives: 1-10"
