REVEALED: Supertramp’s Unreleased Track “Midnight Carousel” Set for First-Ever Release After Mysterious Studio Session Resurfaces

Music fans are buzzing after the announcement that “Midnight Carousel,” a previously unheard Supertramp track recorded in 1977 during the Even in the Quietest Moments sessions, will finally see the light of day.

The song, long rumored among studio insiders, was recently rediscovered by engineer Geoff Emerick’s estate, hidden on a forgotten backup reel labeled “Do Not Use – Too Long / Too Weird.” The track clocks in at just under 11 minutes and features an eerie circus-themed motif, swirling Wurlitzer piano, layered clarinets, and cryptic, dreamlike lyrics that many believe explore the fragile line between fame and insanity.

Early descriptions from those who’ve heard it call it “a haunting blend of Fool’s Overture and The Logical Song, but darker—like a funhouse mirror of Supertramp’s soul.”

Both Hodgson and Davies have acknowledged the track, with Hodgson stating: “It was a beautiful experiment. We lost ourselves in it. I’m amazed it’s finally resurfaced.”

“Midnight Carousel” will debut in September as part of a new archival release titled Hidden Moments: The Supertramp Vault Sessions, accompanied by restored studio footage and handwritten lyric sheets that show alternate titles like “Clockwork Parade” and “Echoes in the Midway.”
