Midland's "Fragments of Us" explores LGBTQ+ history through ambient-electro music, intertwining sound with culture, and highlighting the importance of queer spaces in nightlife.
Dance and electronic music has always been queer... One way to tell a history of LGBTQ+ people today, then, is to make electronic music; another is to simply listen.
The album begins with a reflection on Polari, a 20th-century British slang, setting the stage for the emotional journey of love and desire.
Instead of a conventional dancefloor offering, 'Fragments of Us' stands out as a collection of people, moments, ideas, and historical records.
