Thomas Edinger (born May 26, 1976) is a Danish musician and multi-instrumentalist, best known for playing the saxophone. He has played the saxophone on most of the studio versions of songs by The Midnight and has occasionally performed with them live. According to Tim McEwan, most of the saxophone parts are written in advance for Edinger to perform, however, some of the solos were improvised by Edinger.

Edinger started playing the saxophone at the age of 13, and after a few years received Bikubens Talentpris (now known as the Reumert Prize), a talent prize founded by the former Danish bank Bikuben.

He has played saxophone for many artists, including Lukas Graham, Billy Preston, Andrew Strong, MC Einar, Bobo Moreno, Marie Carmen Koppel, Søs Fenger, Søren Poppe, Søren Sko, Danmarks Underholdningsorkester, Jakob Sveistrup, James Sampson, Nanna, Monique, Morten Remar, Snoop Dogg, STRØM, Medina and Christoffer.

Lyrics

In the thousand winds that blow
In the diamonds on the snow
In the sunlight on the grain
In the falling of the gentle autumn rain
In the morning’s quiet hush
In the soft graze and the brush
When the birds fly through the sky
In the stars that shine in the night

"Neon Medusa" Released: March 3, 2021

Horror Show is the second extended play (EP) by The Midnight. It was initially released through Counter Records on October 16, 2020, exclusively through Amazon Music for streaming. The EP was made available on all platforms on March 19, 2021, following the release of Neon Medusa as a single earlier in the month.

Background and composition

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted The Midnight's plans to tour and promote their new album, Monsters. To get fans engaged with the band during the pandemic, an alternate reality game (ARG) began on September 24, 2020, and continued through October 15, 2020, with fans working together each day remotely to solve clues and discover hidden prizes. On October 13, 2020, the prize was a link to an empty Dropbox folder labeled "The Midnight - New Album". A Twitch channel by the name of "halfinlightandhalfindark" (a reference to a lyric in Last Train) was also discovered, and the channel posted a message stating "WEDNESDAY 10/14 @ 12 PM EST." At that time, the EP was streamed for the first time and its title of Horror Show was also revealed. After the stream ended, it was confirmed that the EP would release on October 16, 2020. The EP's initial exclusivity to Amazon Music was in part due to the company helping fund its production. During the time of the original October release, physical copies of Horror Show were available to pre-order from the band's online store, which included a download link to a digital version of the EP including the instrumentals.

Four of the six songs on Horror Show were co-produced by Essenger. The album also features a new collaboration with Nikki Flores, a cover of the 1978 Bruce Springsteen and Patti Smith hit single Because The Night.
