“Dylan [O’Brien] was actually in the studio with me and Jack [Antonoff] because we were–a lot of the time we record at his place. And Dylan was just hanging out, like drinking wine with us and listening to stuff. And he was just trying out the drum kit there. He wasn’t–he wasn’t serious. As I said, we were drinking wine. And we were just sort of like, “Oh, we haven’t recorded the drums for this one yet, see if you wanna–” and he just played the drums on the song.”

Surprise! I think of Midnights as a complete concept album, with those 13 songs forming a full picture of the intensities of that mystifying, mad hour. However! There were other songs we wrote on our journey to find that magic 13. I’m calling them 3am tracks. Lately I’ve been loving the feeling of sharing more of our creative process with you, like we do with From The Vault tracks. So it’s 3am and I’m giving them to you now. 🌌
