Die Musik bewegt sich zwischen Folk, Slowcore und Indie-Rock. Die Arrangements bleiben dabei warm und zurückhaltend. Das Konzert verbindet akustische Intimität mit einer dichten, atmosphärischen Klangwelt. Die Kombination aus den beiden Künstlern und dem Kirchenraum zielt auf eine konzentrierte Stimmung ab.

Midwife began while Madeline was a resident of the beloved DIY space Rhinoceropolis in 2014. On stage, Johnston is known for her sparse, emotionally charged experimental pop music that can silence a room. On record, she produces intricate and lush sonic environments in her own little corner of the heavy music scene. She describes her sound as “Heaven Metal,” AKA emotional music about devastation: catharsis. Johnston writes primarily about grief, and the many faces it can inhabit.
