Midlake - Bamnan and Slivercork (Bella Union) [mp3]

Though it's fairly common for unsolicited discs to show up on my desk, it's fairly rare for one of them to really worm its way into my ear. Midlake managed to do it easily though, with their latest, Bamnan and Slivercork. Their sound comes off something kinda like Grandaddy over a base coat of Neutral Milk Hotel, and damn, that rubs me just the right way. - ryan

I hear Ringo singing a McCartney-penned Beatles song circa 1967 on a turntable with motor problems and a slightly warped record. None of these are bad things.

I really like the mp3. Is this tune representative of the whole album?

futureman, that track's a great representation of their overall style; i definitely recommend picking up the album if you dig that song.
