midlake -- the trials of van occupanther
This record is really, really good. Recorded at home and has a fantastic sound. They really captured a different era. Definitely deserves a Tape Op interview.
This week, I have been digging this record a great deal as well. I would love to read an interview about these fellows in the Op.
You say this was recorded at home? They really found a great drum sound... though not perfect, it's one of those sounds you recognize as perfect for this record. Very warm 70's gold this album.
If'n there is a better "Autumn drive about the woods" record this year, send it over...

I don't know if these guys are still in Denton...but there is a great music scene there. Anyway, a friend of mine knows the drummer pretty well and he mentioned them to me a few years ago and for some reason the name didn't impress me. Then I stumbled onto their myspace page and grabbed their free mp3s...always liked those but they seemed a bit too lips to me...like they were trying too hard. But this newer record is a whole other thing that I want to get sooner than later.
