Los Angeles-based duo Midnight To Monaco, consisting of vocalist Ricky Ducati and songwriter/producer Donnie Sloan, who has also worked with Empire Of The Sun, have returned with their superb new single “One Way Ticket”. The free-spirited cut, with its radiant vocals, offers a wistful snapshot of journeying through California, where Midnight to Monaco record most of their music. The track will appear on the pair’s upcoming debut EP on Future Classic.
“I originally wrote the music as an idea for Empire of the Sun, another group I work with, complete with acoustic guitars and synthesizers. But when Ricky sang on the track, it really came alive and perfectly lent itself to the 50’s and 60’s doo-wop sound we’re inspired by. So much so, that the final version features backing vocals from Matt Jardine, the son of original Beach Boy, Al Jardine. It’s an ode to Annie, the dream girl that never actually turns up, and perhaps only exists in your imagination,” says Donnie Sloan.
