Midlake — The Trials of Van Occupanther. I once mentioned to a friend that there is some music I wish I could gather up in my arms and squeeze so tightly that it sinks into my body, into my bones, and becomes a part of me, so that I could carry it around with me all the time. I don’t feel that way about Midlake’s Trials—because it actually happened. I hear these songs inside me all the time. I wake up at night and hear them in my head. You can learn more about them here and here. [...]

Yes, this is not a bad thing,A-ha is probably the most underated band in the world (well, they have received the Q-inspiration award 2006), and for me (and I hope that for most people) is a good new that music similar to those performed by a-ha is now very cool and very good for the critics.
Midlake is one of the best sounds at the moment, congratulations¡

This might be my record of the year. [...]

Scroll down a few tics and you’ll find it, or type in Midlake in the search bar. There’s other really cool concerts on this website too.

It’s got much more of a Flaming Lips/Grandaddy/Radiohead vibe. Very electronicky/guitars. I like the way this new stuff sounds.

An instant favorite for me. Do you have their first one? I’m wondering how it compares.

I’ve heard nothing but great things about this band.
