Midlake


Sundays seem to be the only day I can relax. I get up, make breakfast, drink coffee, read The New Yorker and listen to something mellow. One of my favorite new CDs is The Trials of Van Occupanther, by Midlake. The Trials of Van Occupanther has a mellow 70's folk-pop sound derivative of Fleetwood Mac. From Denton, TX, Midlake has been playing with their sound since the formed in 1999. They started off jazz/funk, then went in a Radiohead like direction and finally this vintage pop sound. They have continued to grow and "find" themselves artistically. I hope this is them because this is a great CD. Listen to Roscoe.
