One of those albums that if you heard around a friends house, you would demand, wild eyed, to know who the hell it was. Texas five piece band that have clearly been listening to Mercury Rev, Fleetwood Mac, CSN and Grandaddy, yet seem to have added something to the mix all of their own for their secong long player. Their psychedelic melodies and space pop style grabs and pulls you into the world of Midlake, and what a world it is. A rare album that feels like it's all on it's own, genre wise. You're gonna hear piano, rhodes, flute, acoustic guitar, damn near every instrument around. This off beat take on pop, filled with charming, infectious songs is recommended. Ignore the bizarre title and dive in. Includes single "Young Bride"

Following the incredible success of their second album The Trials of Van Occupanther, Bella Union is proud to announce the release of Midlake’s Milkmaid Grand Army EP. Recorded in 2001, before even their debut album Bamnan & Slivercork was conceived, this EP revisits Midlake in their early years, and illustrates their diverse musical journey throughout the years. The songs here sound more than a little like Radiohead, not just in Tim Smith’s voice but in the quality of songwriting
