Following two years of non-stop touring in support of their debut release, the Nude Party returned to their farmhouse in the Catskill Mountains to record Midnight Manor, the follow up to their acclaimed 2018 self-titled debut. Like the Band’s sacred home-recording habitat The Big Pink, the Nude Party’s communal dwelling provided the landscape and proximity to focus on deepening their bonds through music. It was at the Manor that the band of childhood friends could shift their energies from the archetypical emotional journeys of mid-twenty-somethings towards rebuilding their road-worn relationships with one another, leading them to write Midnight Manor - which lead singer Patton Magee describes as “a stone skipping over troubled waters.”
