Midnight Gems - Your Free Mix-Tape Show - E 31 "Building Up To Climaxing"
Never heard from Mitski, but her music deserves 2.5 million views in one month. She sounds like Norah Jones and London Grammar kissed and had a love child.
Mitski - My Love Mine All Mine
These guys, girls ....these whoevers been around for some time according to their Fakebook but there is very little to find on Clann and that makes me curious because they sound absolutely mystic,
Clann - Her & the Sea
Folk and Americana from Sweden, about a Garden, Good & Evil, okay she got me just there. And then the haunting voice and cello. I shut my eyes Sofia....just sing to me.
Sofia Talvik - The Garden
Now I got to get this trip going, and Molly Svrcina is just the one to increase the beat...slowly but noticeably.
SVRCINA - Who Are You?
Okay no more time to take it slowly we need to live la vida local!
Hojii - La Vida
You didn´t see that coming did you but we are gonna trip this one even harder with a Lady that is most known for her covers and Taiwninees Fol Metal. But I would never go full metal on you...would I
Nini Music - Rise Up
Oh she´s Welsh that explains everything, the sweet but bitchy accent, and the crazy catchy riff. I love Ritzy, she´s just....sweet and Bitchy but I already said so.
The Joy Formidable - Cradle
I played these strange little girls two times already, while they only have three songs out there. And ever since @Bozz called them Abbaish I can not not hear Abba, but Abba wishes that they were sick like this in the 70s. Have Mercy!
The Last Dinner Party - My Lady of Mercy
Encore
Okay, I promised I would not go all metal on you all of a sudden, I am building up to a crazy ass climax and that starts with a Mad Devil! Oh and this is Devilish but not metalish....yet.
Rok Nardin - The Mad Devil
So I told you about Nini, she was such a find. I never heard stuff played like she does. But this is Epic, it´s Taiwanese Folk Metalish for just that last bit. But trust me if this was s.e.x. this would be that c.l.i.m.a.x.

Riddle Me This
Guess What, My Riddle got solved by @mypathtofire he caught on to the war theme quite quickly. So if you want to make that $1 boost on your post keep an eye on my #TTT post.
What the fluff is Midnight Gems?
Somewhere lost in time, trying to escape out of the rabbit hole back into the rat race there is a vacuum..... that´s the place where midnight gems are found.
My Midnight Gems will try to uncover & recover those beautiful songs that nobody ever noticed or might have been forgotten.
Who the fluff am I?
Being a former DJ playing about everything and having an uncompleted study of radio journalism. I have been wanting to do this for years...Thought about it many nights and guess now it´s time to finally take it to the streets.
Hope you enjoyed this well-known wave of fantastic music and that you still feel like joining me on the next Midnight Gems Session coming soon.

Someone in the comments of my post called them "Sweary ABBA" and that just touched me in my soul. It's the perfect way to describe them :) That first one almost has a bit of Enya in her voice too. Great stuff!
I wonder if that is what they were going for.
I would think that is not something I would aim for but it´s so clear that it also feels like they should be aware they sound like sweary Abba
I don't know, according to @verhp11 ABBA still has a huge following worldwide.
That is absolutely true :)
These are lovely songs, I love the sound of it.
I've just been looking for music like this these days. I want soft sounds in my life. You've saved me a lot of time because I haven't really been able to sit down and look for 🤣 Thank you...
