Music: Midlake The Trials of Van Occupanther |
|
|
Midlake's "The Trials of Van Occupanther" kicks off with a strong Roscoe and doesn't let go until the last track.
The band highlights the lead singer's moody vocals in a manner reminiscent of Radiohead, bringing their own originality through. The album is lush with deep guitars, haunting violins, and heartfelt pianoscapes. It's the spiritual inheritance of the 70s breathing new life into the current music scene.
The album is also excessively accessible. In a world of overcommercialized music, I can't help but wonder why this album isn't.
Who would like this album: People looking for Radiohead meets Jethro Tull.
Who would hate this album: Those who dislike high-pitched male voices.
