In 2021, Mikey Wax decided to take a new and exciting direction by forming the indie pop duo Middle Child. Today, they have released their debut single “Burn Out.” The track is now available via Casual Jam Records, a fast growing label owned by popular UK tastemaker MrRevillz. The duo features producer Jacob Lee and songwriter/vocalist Mikey Wax. Middle Child’s music infuses childhood memories with the trials and tribulations of adulthood, while trying to make a living as songwriters in Los Angeles.

“You keep me cool when I’m gonna burn out,” sings Middle Child. The first single off the upcoming EP steps inside a worried mind (“What if I should lose you?”) and celebrates the balance that the singer’s friend or lover provides (“you keep me sane”). Produced in a minimalistic hip-hop/indie pop vibe, the song reaches an anthemic “and we dance away” refrain to bring it all full circle like the ups and downs of everyday life.
