Description
The flute figure that slips into Winter Dies points to where Midlake take The Courage of Others. Studio-born folk rock that leans into early '70s British shades, it swaps grand gestures for close harmonies and patient, circular guitar lines. Acts of Man opens like a procession, Tim Smith floating above the woodwinds; Rulers, Ruling All Things brings a subtle lift with its rolling toms and quietly insistent chorus. Across two records, the Horchata & Fog colourway suits the mood, and this 2LP pressing lets the arrangements breathe; space opens up and imaging feels tidier. It belongs alongside Fairport Convention and the wider early '70s British folk era, but the Denton, Texas pacing and mostly unplugged discipline make it its own. You can buy Midlake records online through our shop if you prefer a click over a crate dig. Late-side cuts reward a quiet room, the bass tucked just so under recorder and fingerpicked nylon strings. Sequencing across four sides gives these slow builds room to work. Lovely package without fuss, a record you’ll reach for on cool nights or unrushed Sunday mornings. Order today, available online or for pickup in our Melbourne store.
