Midlake returns with their sixth studio album, A Bridge To Far, on November 7th. Produced by Sam Evian, the album features the new single and video “The Ghouls,” a song born from a period of uncertainty that ultimately inspired the band to move forward. The record is a profound meditation on hope, featuring guest vocals from Madison Cunningham, Hannah Cohen and Meg Lui.

While Midlake have not deserted the sounds of yore, they have reinterpreted the repertoire on For the Sake of Bethel Woods, sounding more willing to experiment. There is a sense of liberation in the music. No one is holding them back any longer.

Midlake announce 10th-anniversary deluxe reissue of The Trials of Van Occupanther via Bella Union. The original album will be accompanied by a special bonus 7” featuring two previously unreleased tracks. Listen to ‘The Fairest Way’.

Midlake agreed to do a session for Sideshow Alley TV, a recently set up video session outfit whom I couldn’t find out much about but I thought this was a great session. So here they are. Midlake performing Small Mountain in an alleyway in Australia. I look forward to seeing more sessions!

Midlake have just released their third album The Courage of Others which has already been primed by Mojo as possibly the album of the year. They have spent the last three years making this album which has led them on a musical journey they have never been on before. They have discovered Fairport, Steeleye Span and ’70s British Folk, all of which has been an influence on this album.
