Multi-instrumentalist Madeline Johnston has been very prolific under the name Midwife, releasing five projects in as many years. She dubs her sound “Heaven Metal”, which combines the heaviness of dark themes with soft and melodic guitar tones.
Both of the tracks performed for Out of Site are from her 2020 release Forever, which was released by world renowned label The Flenser.
Midwife is currently at the annual Roadburn Festival in the Netherlands. Following that journey, she’s hitting the road with experimental legends The Body. Full list of dates and ticket links are below.
