“Kingfish Pies”
from the album Bamnan and Slivercork

Recorded in Texas and mixed at Abbey Road (by label patron/ex-Cocteau Simon Raymonde), Midlake’s debut has encouraged ecstatic comparisons with The Flaming Lips and Radiohead. That’ll be due to their stratospheric harmonies and the vocal similarity between singer Tim Smith and Radiohead’s Thom Yorke. The two elements fuse majestically on “Kingfish Pies”, the highlight of an album which justifies the expectations such prestigious comparisons invite. ~ Uncut Magazine
