Midlake: The Courage of Others

Shape-shifting Texas band takes hard left turn The disappointing thing about most Molly Hatchet albums—beside the fact that they’re horrible—is the blatant deception of their covers. During the band’s heyday, Hatchet album art featured a hulking, wide-eyed barbarian swinging a massive battleaxe as sinew and bits of bone fell about him like crimson snow. It was, in a word, badass. But when you dropped the needle, out came a sickening bilge of chuggin’ boogie blues and butt rock. The only thing hemorrhaging was your ears....  read more

Fifteen Balloons Falcon Was Also Not In

Poor Falcon Heene. You gotta feel for the kid who made news headlines on Thursday and Friday, even vomiting on live television, simply for not being in a balloon. But rather than dwell on the fact that his life has probably been irrevocably changed by a silly event it’s pretty clear his almost-certainly-skeezy parents cooked up to rekindle the special kind of fame one gets from appearing on Wife Swap, let’s try to look at this from a positive point of view. For instance, did you ever notice how much balloon-themed art there is in the world? It’s crazy! Here...  read more

Midlake rereleases Grand EP in U.K.

Few things get better with age. Wine usually has a good run. We're pretty fond of Nerf guns, too. And now we find out from the Tripwire that Midlake might soon knock George Clooney off the list with a reissue of its 2001 EP Milkmaid Grand Army. Though the EP's been out in the States, the U.K. can now slap down some quid in exchange for the Texans' other rarities. Midlake released another set of digital rarities entitled Oak and Julian just this past September. The quintet is also holed up in their studio working on a third full-length album....  read more

Midlake tour closes out the summer

Somehow, the final days of summer 2007 are just around the corner. Depending on who, where and how old you are, maybe it’s depressing and maybe it isn’t - likelier the former if you didn’t swim but once and failed to make it out to any decent shows (besides your buddy’s open mic gig at in some wretchedly hot bar basement). Ah, refreshing! The folks in Midlake will make the fall transition easier during a short headlining tour this September, continuing to promote their second album, The Trials of Van Occupanther, released over one year ago on Bella Union Records....  read more
