Midnight Moonlight features studio recordings of original and cover songs, performed in a style heavily influenced by bluegrass and American folk music. The instrumentation is largely acoustic, with no drums. This is in contrast to most earlier New Riders albums, which emphasized electric country rock.
Moonlight is the debut release and extended play by American electropop project Candy Coded. It was released on iTunes and other media outlets on September 15, 2015.
The first single from the extended play, "Midnight Moonlight", was also released on September 15, 2015.
Background, recording and composition
Moonlight was produced solely by Sam Antonioli and Joseph Birdsong is credited to have written every song. Candy Coded announced the title and released date of their debut extended play on September 3, 2015. Birdsong unveiled the artwork via Instagram on September 10, 2015. The cover was taken from the music video for "Midnight Moonlight".
On making the extended play, the duo said that they took a lot of breaks due to other commitments and wanting to go at their own pace. Antonioli was in favor of this saying that, "Sometimes when I’m mixing through a song and I’ve heard it three hundred times, [Birdsong's] voice just turns into another instrument to me, I forget there is meaning in the things that [he's] saying… So after a couple of months of not listening to these songs and coming back to them, Joe and I both had this reaction of just like, 'this sounds really good,' I forgot how good this was and I’m listening to the lyrics again thinking, 'wow, this actually makes sense’." He also said that “the songs morphed and moved with [him] through ups and downs” in his life. Birdsong praised Antonioli by saying, “I definitely think this is some of [the] best, if not [the] best, music work you have ever done.” Antonioli reciprocated saying that, "the lyrics are such a wonderful contrast to the music."
