GRAMMY®-nominated trio Midland reveals the track list for their forthcoming Dave Cobb-produced album Barely Blue (out September 20 via Big Machine Records) and releases “Vegas,” along with the song’s official video. An ode to Sin City, “Vegas” reframes its infamous calling card of “what happens in Vegas…” into a tender song of a brief, but true romance. The video, directed by Harper Smith, reflects the melancholy and vintage aesthetic of the song, finding the boys on the quieter side of the showbiz lights, betting and playing cards with enough whiskey to last all night.

About the new single, Mark Wystrach explains: “‘Vegas’ is an homage to the wildest town in the world and the intense connections and losses that tend to happen in Sin City along the way. Sonically, the song feels like a tip of the cowboy hat to early George Strait classics penned by the legendary Dean Dillon.”

Jess Carson adds: “‘Vegas’ takes Sin City’s unofficial calling card ‘what happens in Vegas’ and interprets it through a love story. The phrase instead here is a sweet and tender ode to an all too brief romance that lingers after the tellers have returned to their daily lives.”
