David Gray, possibly the most brilliant overlook musician of the last 20 years, has created a stunning, electronia-infused folk dream, that sweeps you away on a magic-carpet ride.

Gray's cracking vocals punctuate his brilliant lyrics and are countered by the electric hum on the music. This is one of the greatest albums of the last ten years.

Anyone who has lost someone they loved and found someone to love.

"Freedom", the fourth track on the album, is a long, sad, but ultimately bittersweet ballet on loss, and love.

There wasn't anything I didn't like. This disc is nearly flawless; the best work Gray has produced to date, which is saying something.

Start it over again. You can set this on repeat and lie awake all night.

Sad, yes, but sad in a good way. Sad like a sunrise.

David Gray

It is simply brilliant. The lyrics are masterful, and the music is stunning. This is a work of art, not an album.

"A New Day at Midnight" is Gray's fifth album. His other four are wildly and dramatically different, showing his amazing range and skill.
