Cosmo’s Midnight share video for ‘A Million Times’ + Remix from HONNE

Sydney-based twin act Cosmo’s Midnight today share a new video and HONNE remix for “A Million Times”, taken from their recent sophomore album, Yesteryear out now via Sony Music (Australia), RCA Records (USA) & Black Butter Records (UK). The release follows the duo’s announcement to be reopening live music at the Sydney Opera House next month, in their only hometown shows for 2020.

The alt-pop cut “A Million Times” reaches further heights of dreamy grandeur today, receiving a visual accompaniment starring the brothers and directed by Joel Burrows. The video sees a navy jumpsuit clad Pat and Cosmo Liney in a factory setting, packing boxes before dimension-bending and cloud-parting magic via psychedelic animations sees the heavens give way and, clones descend upon them.

Coinciding with the new visual’s release, is an upbeat remix from UK electro-soul duo HONNE. Cosmo’s Midnight spun their own remix on HONNE cut, “no song without you” earlier this year, and now the British pairing expertly return the favour. Today the duo add their dose of synth-led serenity, that’s seen them collaborate with everyone from soul-pop royalty Tom Misch, to Georgia and Jordan Rakei, while retaining the original’s analogue imprint.

HONNE on the remix: “For our remix of ‘A Million Times’ we decided to completely flip it. We wanted to bring out more of the emotive elements of the lyrics by re-harmonising with picked clean electric guitars and soaring synths. We liked the contrast of having all this set against the backdrop of the relentless straight 808 beat. It was a lot of fun working on it and we hope to finally meet the guys next time we’re in Australia.”
