A New Day At Midnight is comprised of 12 new songs recorded in a small room in south London. The album demonstrates that Gray is, without a doubt, a major force in contemporary music and songwriting.

David Gray: "As the title expresses, there's a vividness to life even at the bleakest, darkest moments; those are the times when you get the most out of other people. It's as though the poignancy of the thing almost gives you a lightness, you feel free of all the stupid shit, you kind of see life and people and what they're good for."
