Somewhere in between Radiohead and Fleet Foxes,
Midlake remain one of the more underrated rock acts of the aughts.
The Courage Of Others supposedly trades Fleetwood Mac for stoner folk, but we'll leave the listening to
to you for now. It is streaming over at NPR, the home of all great streams. But we've got a different treat for you, the best song (in many opinions) from their last record,
The Trials Of Van Occupanther, "Roscoe". Check it out after the jump.
Back in '99 these guys were closer to Herbie Hancock, but these days they're crafting dark, delicate folk. "Roscoe" helped put them on the map.
The Courage Of Others is out 2/2, but like we said, you can stream it up
RIGHT NOW. -
