I have obsessively been listen to Midlake lately… by lately, I mean every day for the past three months. In good fortune, they are playing tonight at The Earl!

You may remember me mentioning their most recent album “The Trials of Van Occupanther” in my belated Best of 2006 in January. Since then I’ve acquired their earlier, “Bamnan and Slivercork” as well as handful of additional tracks and my love goes on. Their earlier material is a bit less of the driven guitar sound but still holds their full keys rock sound with sprinkled eclectic sounds.
Here’s a smidge of some Midlake for ya:
Midlake – Roscoe (from The Trials of Van Occupanther)
Midlake – Balloon Maker (from Bamnan And Slivercork)
Midlake – Blister Free
Midlake – Roller Skate (Farewell, June)
