Music store: Midlake

With the same idea in mind as with the Photo store, in the Music store I will add music that I like, bands that somehow bring something new to music from my very personal point of view. Surely, this won't include only new bands. I start to get tired to listen to new stuff, plus there's so much old good music out there. Basically, anything that made my life better will be here.

The first Music store post goes for Midlake, a band from Texas whose music is so light and fragile that leaves you almost untouched, but caresses you with pure beauty. Check this out from the latest CD, The trials of Van Occupanther. This is called Roscoe:

Their first LP, Bamman and Silvercork, is less commercial and more experimental, showing the true talent in these guys for a debug album. The psychedelic sounds and delicate melodies take you somewhere new in music, reminiscent sometimes of Radiohead (the lead voice has been quoted as Thom Yorke on Valium) or Pink Floid. Either way, there's something making these guys special, the infinite looseness of their songs, the feeling of detachment, the apparent lack of hope and energy that hides, actually, a whole new world of musical textures.

Some of their best songs are The jungler, Kingfish pies, Roscoe, Head home or We gathered in spring.
