Edited to add: Found the band discussing the tune on Instagram:

‘Bangkok’ is out now.

We spent a week in upstate ny trying to write as much as possible, but not having a goal. We ended up getting six songs out of it, all of which are on the Doghouse EP. In the following months, this song took many shapes and by far the longest to finish from the project. The final version ended up being the original structure from the day we wrote it upstate.

Excited for this one to be out and have people walk along to it.

The Midnight - Summer's Ending Soon

Sunset's eulogy in real-time
Painting shadows in the lamplight
There's no truth but what you decide
Summer is ending soon
Can this be true love and goodbye
Two contradictions at the same time
Somewhere somehow under the blue light
Summer is ending soon

From Wiki:

The Midnight is an American synthwave band composed of Atlanta-based singer-songwriter Tyler Lyle and Los Angeles–based Danish producer, songwriter, and singer Tim McEwan.

The band's motto is "mono no aware" (物の哀れ), a Japanese phrase that loosely translates to "a sense of nostalgic wistfulness and the awareness that nothing lasts forever"

Fellas, I was amped yesterday listening to Militarie Gun. Just all day and had a day. The guys are from my area. Los Angeles-based, apparently.

Just enjoying some hardcore laced with pop. More my speed than Turnstile, actually, even though I like Turnstile.

And guys, I usually ain’t like this and neither are hardcore kids (plus nearly every Gen Z girl comes with with Second Wave feminism pre-installed in her hardware so this is uber-rare) but if you get a chance I’d recommend checking the video short they made. Nice!

It's a previously unreleased version of Born in the USA (demo) which will be part of Nebraska '82:Expanded Edition. It is a new release.

Yeah, I get that. But I listen to a large and varied group of artists and would assume that there are other releases that are actually new music, not old stuff in a new package.

So this week isn't as bad as last week w/r/t old stuff. Only 2: John Coltrane (A Love Supreme Monophonic) and Chet Baker (Relaxin').

Oh, and Nitro by Smith Westerns is once again included in my RR, but unavailable to me. At this point, Spotify's just trolling me. Did anyone else get this on their RR and, if so, is it playable where you are?

On Spotify I can't find Nitro Blood listed at all (not even as unavailable). It is also not on YouTube, although Google says it is available on the Apple Music platform (but when I clicked on the link it says "The page you're looking for can't be found"). I am guessing the song was released and then pulled for some reason, maybe licensing issues.

I know a new album of Chet Baker material just came out that some people initially were outraged about because they thought it was AI, but it wasn't, just some newly discovered previously unreleased songs.
