Midlake just released their incredible second album, "The Trials of Van Occupanther" and is a masterpiece of top-drawer song-writing, elegant arrangements and inventive instrumentation. The plaudits are rapidly-gathering for this astonishing record and, you can be sure that discerning stereos across the land will be playing very little else. As was said in the bio. Toazted just loves the band and talked about how they look upon the music bizz nowadays. (April 2006)
