Combining elements of electronica, folk, post-rock and alternative rock with progressive and gothic undertones, Scottish band Midas Fall have carved a distinctive and captivating sound, creating taut, shimmering soundscapes led by the hauntingly melancholic vocals of Elizabeth Heaton - a sound described as "powerful yet fragile, devastatingly beautiful and beautifully devastating" (The Founder Magazine).

Their fourth full-length album, ‘Evaporate’, will be released worldwide in 2018 on Monotreme Records. The band previewed some of their new music on a European tour in November 2017.

In September 2015 Midas Fall released their third album 'the Menagerie Inside' on Monotreme Records, followed by a month-long European tour later in the year with Canadian musician Raised by Swans. The record, mastered by legendary engineer Ed Brooks (Pearl Jam, Death Cab for Cutie, Caspian) featured nine new tracks and was released in digital, CD and limited edition vinyl formats.

The Menagerie Inside’ has been exceptionally well-received with glowing reviews from critics across the world.

“Their best and most accomplished album yet…I hope this is the record that finally takes Midas Fall to the heights of commercial success they so richly deserve. 4.5/5.” – 17 Seconds 

“A beautiful, lonely, haunting, abrasive, intelligent set of songs by a band who really do deserve the future to be theirs. 9/10.” – Reflections of Darkness 

"The Menagerie Inside bridges prog and dreampop in a way that hasn't quite been done this way before…a splendid album.” – Pop Matters 

“Taut, emotive instrumental drama pervading the album is balanced by Heaton’s rich, bright tone…a breathtaking album…” – Factory Worker Media
