I'd never heard of this band until Jim and Greg reviewed this album on Sound Opinions. 2009 and 2010 seem to have been big years for the return of folk-rock to the scene, with acts like Fleet Foxes, The Dry Spells, and Midlake bringing in accolades from fans and critics alike. Midlake is an acoustic folk-rock band from Texas in the vein of Steeleye Span or Fairport Convention. Their music is earnest, simple in instrumentation, with great depth in complexity and emotion. They may be from the desert, but their music invokes the green primeval forests of a Britain that only exists in legend.
