Soon after the beloved Dublin group The Hot Sprockets parted ways last year, frontman Wayne Soper announced his new solo vehicle, Midnight Wayne. The project has seen the multi-instrumentalist exploring a brand new alt-pop sound, and showcasing his talents in home-studio experimentation.

Writing, recording and playing everything from bass to synths solo, the new venture has given Wayne a newfound sense of freedom outside of the commitments of a touring rock band. His first single, 'Someone Like You', was released in March, and explores his new beginnings against a backdrop of psychedelic pop.

Wayne has now continued his journey with a brand new single, 'Transcend', which deals directly with his experiences going on anti-depressants. Although inspired by seemingly dark subject matter, 'Transcend' is an uplifting pop track with a gorgeous summertime energy. The deeply personal track was written and produced by Wayne at his own home.
