Rush Midnight is the solo project of Russell Manning, recent bass player for Twin Shadow and formally trained jazz musician. Russ is Brooklyn born and bred, and his music tells the sonic story of coming up in a nonstop city. New York label Cascine released his debut EP +1 with production support from George Lewis Jr. With influences spanning from Minneapolis ’80s funk group Change, to The Police and Sade. Rush Midnight currently writes songs in the shadows of his bedroom with the hope of one day writing in the light of the outdoors.

+1 EP (2012)
Inspired further by travels across Europe, Brazil and Australia, Rush Midnight’s debut EP, +1, personifies the thrill, mystery and recklessness of abandoning the guidebook and surrendering to forces of fate.

With George Lewis Jr. (Twin Shadow) producing multiple tracks on the release, +1 is a late night strut through downtown New York: stylish, stripped-down rock & roll.

Don't Give Me Your Love (Single) (2013)
"Don't Give Me Your Love" was the first single by Rush Midnight and is crammed-full of drum rolls and the kind of ice-dry synths that suit the band's name to a T and lend the music its sense of drama.

Self-titled Album (2014)
Rush Midnight's debut LP will be out on May 27, 2014 on Last Gang Records.
