A visceral display of ferocious beauty that gleams with a dark, gothic grace, Evaporate is at once delicate and brutal. From the desperate, savage cacophony of “Bruise Pusher” to the elegant ascension of “Sword To Shield,” the record conjures stunning soundscapes at every turn.

Evaporate is out now on CD and digital formats, as well as a limited pressing of 500 LPs on 180-gram vinyl (200 black and 300 clear blue/black). For orders, visit THIS LOCATION.
Combining elements of electronica, post-rock, and alternative with progressive and gothic undertones, MIDAS FALL has over the course of their existence carved a distinctive and captivating sound, creating taut, glistening soundscapes led by the hauntingly melancholic vocals of Elizabeth Heaton.
