Nottingham-based Midnight Rodeo are a collective of five close friends who met on the city’s live circuit. Signing with FatCat Records in 2022, they’ve released four singles to date, and now have their debut album, “Chaos Era”, ready to go. They have received consistent national and international press support for their first 4 singles (CLASH, So Young, Under The Radar, Brooklyn Vegan), and have sold out 3 record releases in their hometown, alongside a relentless touring schedule around the UK & Europe.

Their sound is unique in its combination of a powerful groove laden rhythm section, alongside jangly guitars, theremin-esque synths, booming organs all held together with the ethereal, honeyed vocals of frontwoman Maddy Chamberlain.  Krauty & latin-esque grooves are juxtaposed with powerful psych-pop garage floor-fillers, hypnotic and chaotic in equal measure.

“Chaos Era” is set for release July 2025 on FatCat Records. Mixed by Grammy award winning mixing engineer Claudius Mittendorfer (Sorry, Temples, Parquet Courts) and mastered by John Webber (David Bowie, Ash, Coach Party, Junodream), the album will be accompanied by a UK & European tour in September & October 2025.

"A multi-faceted piece of woozy surf pop, the Morricone guitars slice through those heavenly vocals, while the heavyweight percussion surges to its grand finale." 

– Clash

“sharp-shootin’ psych-pop” 

– Clash

“Spongy cinematic trip...wispy surf rock”

 – So Young

“A modern day psych-pop classic” 

– Under The Radar

"The kind of sounds that Midnight Rodeo magic up here are so elegantly formed and tastefully conceived – like a gorgeous fusion of Los Bitchos and La Luz –  it could easily have sprung from the hippy kingdoms of California, Melbourne, or mainland Europe."
