  "account": "Mexican disco-funk band Midnight Generation has released a music video for their latest single \"Almost My Own.\" The video showcases the band's Daft Punk-inspired sound, set against a backdrop of retro domestic life scenes. The clip begins with the five-piece band, hailing from Chihuahua, performing mundane tasks such as ironing, reading newspapers outdoors, and hanging socks on a clothesline. The domestic scenes then transition into an outdoor performance by a lake. The music of \"Almost My Own\" blends talkbox, synthesizers, and electronic instruments with the band's established funk, disco, and electronic influences. Singer and producer Fernando Mares explains that the song's lyrics revolve around a relationship that almost blossomed, creating a love story left unfinished. The video is released as Midnight Generation continues their North American tour supporting Empire of the Sun and Polo & Pan, with stops at various venues across the United States and Canada.",
