About this item

Beloved for their cinematic songwriting and atmospheric blend of folk, rock, and psychedelia, Midlake returns with their sixth studio album, 'A Bridge To Far' - a sweeping, soul-stirring meditation on resilience and hope.

Lead singer Eric Pulido describes the record as a reminder that, regardless of
circumstance, there is a place -- "not made of stone" -- where one can find solace and strength. It's a call to persevere, to "go bravely arm in arm and climb upon," inviting listeners to transcend the darkness through connection and belief. This is Midlake at their most inspired and intentional, weaving together mythic storytelling and emotional clarity with the signature textures that have made them a touchstone in modern independent music.

Recorded in the band's hometown of Denton, TX at The Echo Lab with acclaimed producer and mixer Sam Evian, 'A Bridge To Far' captures the warmth and wildness of the band's earliest recordings while pushing into luminous new territory. The first single, 'The Ghouls', arrives as a haunting and propulsive introduction to the record's themes--equal parts spectral and cathartic.

STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: An album that's brimming with the sort of bucolic majesty Midlake have become known for, pushing the boundaries of their already well-established folk-rock sound. There are moments of grand, psychedelic majesty and soaring progressive rock, but it is all grounded in their recognisable, folky roots. A constantly evolving sonic whirlwind.
