The buzz is continuing to build around L.A.’s Midnight Movies, a lauded quartet schooled in the melancholic drone of Jefferson Airplane and vocal ease of the Cranberries.

With Lion the Girl (New Line), their second full-length release out April 24, the band explores haunting new vistas and back alleys of the soul, expanding the reach of their acclaimed “psychedelic pop” with an expanded lineup and more expansive songwriting.
