Midlake create songs that are so beautiful and natural you will know what the sound of one hand clapping really is. With lyrics as simple and evocative as a well-crafted haiku, the band from Denton, Texas has crafted their album based upon older influences such as Fleetwood Mac and Neil Young. With a cultivated contemporary sound that might appeal to fans of the Flaming Lips, Grandaddy and, before they got too big of course, The Shins, Midlake may be melancholy at times but they are never morose.

More mountainside than mental institution, the peace that Midlake's music will provide you is much more organic than it is clinical. If a tree were to fall in the woods and no one was there to hear it - Midlake could recapture the sound.
