Midnight Pine is an EP by Minnesota alternative hip hop group Kill the Vultures. It was self-released by the band in 2007.
Midnight Pine began as the soundtrack for an independent film. The group aimed for a quieter sound than the previous disc The Careless Flame , avoiding ambient noise or electric guitar. [1] DJ Stephen "Anatomy" Lewis told Paris-based website PopNews that the move to a quieter sound reflected his own nocturnal habits: "I live at night. This explains why I spend a lot of time alone and quiet, which has made my music more meditative and nocturnal. Midnight Pine reflects this." [2]
French rap website Hiphopcore called Midnight Pine "much more peaceful and subdued" than the " ubiquitous musical chaos" of Careless Flame, and said that Anatomy's jazz-inspired beats seemed "calmer than usual to dress up the dark, almost whispered stories of Crescent Moon in the most beautiful way."
