Time to bring out someone I've yet to post a video of, but these guys are in my list of Top 5 musical acts. Midlake has such an awesome sound to them. If I had to compare them to someone, which I typically hate doing, I'd say they fall close to Mimicking Birds (who you should totally be familiar with because you dug through my earlier posts and have fallen in love with them).
Midlake has sent me off on so many hours listening through the music and picking out note by note on my guitar. Perhaps that's why I love them so much, as you focus on a song in that way, you start to unravel all the different musical layers and really get a feel for all the separate pieces. And in addition to a beautiful piece of music, they tend to make some pretty awesome music videos, such as this one, which tells it's very own awesome story. My favorite part of the video: the awesome library style shelves in the house filled to the brim with books. Oh how I want something like that set up.
I present:
Midlake - Young Bride
Listen if you like: Radiohead, Mimicking Birds, Fleet Foxes

Well, I can't get away without posting another great one. Here's one that takes you to another time during the video, with simplistic visuals and some pretty interesting lyrics.
Midlake - Roscoe
That's it, hope you liked them. If not, you're probably deaf, but that's OK, because I know Sign Language. Well..... and typing. I guess that's been pretty effective if you've gotten to here. Until next time...
