The eagerly awaited North American headline tour - which officially gets underway on May 8 at Nashville, TN's 3rd & Lindsley - celebrates the recent release of Midlake's acclaimed fifth studio album, For The Sake Of Bethel Woods, available now via ATO Records in the US and Bella Union in the UK. Today sees the premiere of a captivating live performance of the LP standout, "Feast of Carrion," streaming now via YouTube.
Filmed at Dallas, TX's Modern Electric Sound Recorders by director Rett Rogers (Nicole Atkins, Nathaniel Rateliff) and co-director Barbara FG, the new video marks the latest in a multi-part series of exclusive live sessions, "Meanwhile In Texas," with previous installments including renditions of the new album's "Bethel Woods," "Meanwhile...," and the incredibly powerful "Noble."
Produced, engineered, and mixed by GRAMMY® Award-winner John Congleton (St. Vincent, Explosions in the Sky, Sharon Van Etten) at Elmwood Recording Studio in Dallas, TX, For The Sake Of Bethel Woods marks Midlake's fifth full-length release and first time recording with an outside producer.
The result is an album of immersive warmth and mystery from a landmark band once feared lost by fans, but here revivified with freshness and constancy of intent. A desire to commune with the past and connect with present, lived experience asserts itself throughout songs such as "Bethel Woods" - named of course for the site of 1969's original 37-acre Woodstock festival field - and the sky-scraping space-rock of "Exile."
That same resonant spirit is further embodied by the instantly memorable cover art, designed by pro skateboarder/filmmaker/visual artist Brian Lotti and featuring a striking photo of keyboardist/flautist Jesse Chandler's father, who tragically passed away in 2018.
