Video in the next comment but just need to share this glorious thing.
Heard this in a shop yesterday (a very hipster denim shop in Spitalfields where I could buy a pair of jeans that cost as much as a washing machine). I did one of those stand still in the shop just listening to it (much to the consternation of my wife) things and then got Soundhound out.
Good stuff. They’ve gone a bit “populist Radiohead” with this, and I am here for it.
There is definitely a lovely dollop of Radiohead in this. I have earlier Midlake stuff but had forgotten about them a little. My first thought when I heard this one was that it was The Smile so was a little surprised when the Soundhound identified them. The rest of the album is excellent as well.
er, this is ancient Midlake – ten years old at least?
So it is. I thought it said 2021 but it was 2001. So Radiohead copied Midlake! Who knew.?
Musically interesting. The song’s OK but could do with a better singer.
I presume he’s low in the mix for that reason.
