PRESS QUOTES
“The Trials of Van Occupanther is a bona fide classic… its very existence makes the world seem a better place”.
NME – 8/10
“The songwriting is rich, delivering an almost hallucinatory mix of pianos, horns, guitars… One of 2006's best.”
The Guardian – 4 Stars ****
“This unimpeachable record is a part-pastoral, part-rock curiosity, with trace elements of Neil Young, America and Grandaddy… exquisitely sung and played… an invigorating, many-faceted work of diverse instrumentation and durability.”
MOJO – 4 Stars ****
“Mapping the territory between Neil Young and Mercury Rev, their charming and wistful second album seems to glow from within.”
The Independent – 4 Stars ****
“Fans of Flaming Lips, Wilco and Grandaddy should get it immediately. And fall in love.”
WORD
“It’s so rare for an album to come from nowhere and sound as if it has existed for ever, but Midlake’s extraordinary second release is just such a gem. This deserves to become a major word-of-mouth hit.”
Evening Standard – 4 Stars ****
“This Texas quintet could fill the gap left by Grandaddy. It's all here: the dreamy folk-rock, the gentle and pastoral shadings. Mapping the territory between Neil Young and Mercury Rev, their warm, charming and wistful second album seems to glow from within.”
The Independent (Information) – 4 Stars ****
Texans Midlake deliver on their gorgeous, escapist second album – an organic, pastoral thrill that updates 1970s Fleetwood Mac and Crosby, Stills and Nash for a new generation. Classic, elegant songwriting.
Metro – 4 Stars *****
“The full cream harmonies recall CSNY in their early pomp… Much of is sounds like the spiritual cousin on Neil Young’s ‘After The Goldrush’ and ‘Harvest’, sharing the same back-to-nature rusticity”
Uncut – 4 Stars ****
“This is one of those rare albums that comes out of nowhere and knocks your socks off! Midlake combine warm West Coast harmony rock with the wonder and mystery associated with sonic explorers like The Flaming Lips… Exquisite.”
The Sun – 5 Stars *****
“Midlake make music descended directly from the golden era of American folk: the prairie-wide melodies and plaintive harmonies of Fleetwood Mac and Neil Young… this rocks.”
The Telegraph
“This is a masterclass in inventive storytelling married to a classic
psyche-rock rollercoaster”
