“We don’t want to get called a Radiohead rip-off band. I think Radiohead is a lot closer to my natural tendencies as a songwriter than a band like, um, Jethro Tull. I listen to way more Jethro Tull than I do Radiohead these days, but I could write 10 Radiohead songs before I could write one Jethro Tull song. I want to sound more like Jethro Tull, but I just can’t. That’s a big struggle.”
—Tim Smith of Midlake
It must have been difficult for Midlake to top Van Occupanther – Midlake’s new album, The Courage of Others sounds more organic and folk inspired and less Fleetwood Mac. I dig it.
