“In the quiet of the night, shadows move, stories unfold….and the midnight sun lingers.” A glimpse behind the veil. This is where light and darkness met, where every frame held a secret. Midnight Sun was more than a video - it was a vision, a moment suspended in time. The journey doesn’t end here.

Michael Marquart and a bad think’s 10th studio album. A more rollicking and upbeat offering with all the expected production values that have always characterized his music.
“I start these songs and try not to guide them. I just let them go where they want to go. Some of my songs are country-ish, classical, pop and heavy. I just kind of let them go where they want to go. It's all me, so it's all my style. It sounds like my sound, so even if I drift into another genre like country, it still sounds like me. It's not like it's sounding from outer space out there or something.
The hardest thing about that is staying out of the way.
Lifelike
“Expect the plaudits and critics to remain thoroughly on the side of Michael Marquart and A Bad Think. The Lifelike album was no rush job through isolation. It feels like Marquart has perfected the art of songs that remain immediate and catchy, but also showcase the exciting age of mixing and production that we are entering. An accomplished singer and songwriter, along with some selected friends, truly finding their groove.” Ben Jacklin for Immersive Audio Album
