A serious tip for one of the bands to explode in 2006, Midlake have moulded a haunting fusion of classic rock- think Fleetwood Mac floating melodies, combined with the eary atmospherics of Radiohead’s OK Computer. Quite a compliment indeed.
But believe, The Texan quintet have signed a deal with blissful and wistfully powerful accomplished tunesmithery. And on this their forthcoming single, ‘Roscoe’ they ooze emotional twists and scathing guitar, against a well-made bed of classic rock. An obvious affinity with 70s rock but given a 21st century make-over.
