about
Midnight Choir were a Norwegian band that sounded a little like Tindersticks or The Walkabouts. Walkabouts member Chris Eckman actually produced all Midnight Choir albums with exception of the self titled debut record. Members were Al DeLoner (born Atle Byström), Paal Flaata and Ron Olsen. Midnight Choir were founded - as Hashbrowns - in 1992. The band's name stems from the Leonard Cohen song "Bird on the Wire". The 1998 album "Amsterdam Stranded" won the band a best rock album of the year award in their native Norway. Besides producing Midnight Choir's albums, Chris Eckman also collaborated with Midnight Choir member Al DeLoner, under the common project name Höst. Höst released one album, "The damage suite", in 2001. Midnight Choir split in 2004 with the individual band members pursuing solo careers afterwards. 2005 saw the release of a double best of album called "All tomorrow's tears: The best of Midnight Choir".
