In “Almost Awake at Midnight” Kip LaVie captures the feeling of being on the cusp of consciousness. It sounds like a dream beginning to fade, bringing a mysterious and ethereal halo, like a fog that has just begun to lift. The synth bass and percussion are smoothed by the nice melody and warm piano tones, like a rough stone that has been polished by the elements. It’s a perfect track for those moments when your actions and thoughts move with ease over each other, like a river that flows through a canyon.
