A well-deserved gold vinyl reissue is given to Midlake here. Despite their relative obscurity, it's testament to them being a seminal band that this album's lead song, 'Roscoe', landed a top 100 greatest songs spot in Rolling Stone; even more so that the album was later described as paving the way for the future success of Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes and Beirut by Cocteau Twins' Simon Raymonde. A happy US precursor to what BC,NR are doing now, blended with post-punk, folk and emo, choice bits like 'Bandits' and 'Van Occupanther' still sound fantastic in their stereoized guitars, emotive 6/8 strums and melancholy themes from Tim Smith. Cop this gold plated reissue while you still can.
