Well hot damn, this is nice! Sounding like the perfect summer album.

This track is taken from their forthcoming album out in July entitled "The Trials of Van Occupanther". If you're not familiar with Midlake [or even if you are], the new material definitely has a Fleetwood Mac, Joni Mitchell vibe to it. Don't let that be a turn off, because it really is a fantastic record.

Midlake - Bandits

This is a good'n!

yeah man. rocked this all day today. some of the tunes could have been Fleetwood Mac b-sides

I finally got to download this as the ysi servers have been coming up "Too Busy". So yeah, no kidding that this has a summer feel. I agree with the Joni/Mac vibe from this as well. 'It Covers the Hillside', was a standout for me, definitely one of my favourites. Same with 'We Gathered in Spring', great song.

i just finished listening to the album, i like it.

KIND OF radioheadish vocals. KIND OF. i say.

for you myspace brethren, the video for "Young Bride".


I love this album. Hasn't left my car for the last week. Does anyone else hear a lot of McCartney in there?

without a doubt. i can definitely hear some Wings influence, especially on "Branches"

not feeling it, kinda boring and it's NO FLEETWOOD MAC

Unearthly Trance on the other hand,

This is not bad, these guys are talented. Pretty mellow and summery. Good for relaxing and having on in the background. Straight out of my 70's a.m. radio.

boring? c'mon dude.

so what'd ya think of Unearthly Trance?

Unearthly Trance was pretty good

I always dig a little impending apocalypse droney/doom type stuff

oh wow it punks up a little towards the end
