Lately I’ve been listening to a lot of what I guess could be called “indie folk-rock.” Midlake caught my attention and now made way into my playlist. Their sound is very refreshing and reminiscent of the great old-fashioned rock bands of the 70’s. I’m loving the relaxing harmonies and orchestrations in their songs. With one listen, I was instantly hooked. The Trials of Van Occupanther, their second full-length album (released in 2006) has a handful of timeless tracks such as “Head Home,” and my personal favorite, “Roscoe.”
