As they gear up for their UK album tour, read our interview with Midlake frontman Eric Pulido to learn more about A Bridge To Far’s hopeful message, the behind-the-scenes magic of its creation, and why Midlake is more thankful than ever for their journey.

Midlake’s “A Bridge to Far,” their sixth album, is a career highlight of 26 years. The record stands as their most consistent and assured yet, exploring deep themes of hope, change, and renewal. This deeply affecting release blends pastoral folk and soft psychedelia, achieving a spontaneous and grounded groove that is arguably the band’s best work.

Midlake share “Eyes Full Of Animal,” the final single from their eagerly awaited sixth album, A Bridge To Far (out 7th November). Described as a “groove-based psychedelic beauty,” the song channels a “more visceral energy,” tracing a moment of emotional misalignment. It is the final preview of the new LP, produced by Sam Evian and already earning rave reviews.

Midlake have released “Days Gone By,” a new single from their upcoming album ‘A Bridge To Far’, out November 7th. The track is accompanied by a spellbinding video starring Emmy-nominated actor James Lance (Ted Lasso). The band also announced a UK and European tour for 2026. This release follows the lead single “The Ghouls,” building anticipation for their sixth studio album.

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.
