Listen: Midnight Davis – Sign Your Name

East London’s Midnight Davis seems to have a bit of a fixation on the superstars of the MTV generation; specifically those at the peak of their powers circa-1987.

Following on from his rather disturbed ‘cover’ of INXS mega-hit and guaranteed panty dropper ‘Need You Tonight’ from last year, the elusive producer has had a pop at Terence Trent D’Arby’s ‘Sign Your Name’.

Claustrophobic and slightly haunting, Midnight Davis has stripped away the sass of the original in favour of something that sounds akin to what a stalker would listen to in between acts of blatant voyeurism. ie: a bit f–king creepy and unsettling. The sound of a restraining order waiting to happen.

Watch out for a new Midnight Davis EP later this year, for now – get your laughing gear around this. 1987 represent!
