Midlake to play February gig at Vicar Street
The performance will coincide with the release of their third album, The Courage of Others.
The Hot Press Newsdesk, 03 Nov 2009
The Texas quintet will be performing at Vicar St. in Dublin on 14 February 2010, while shortly after making their long-awaited recording return in February 2010 with their third album, The Courage of Others.
Tickets for the show are €23 and go on sale Friday 6 November at 9am. They will be available through Ticketmaster and other usual outlets nationwide (Booking Line: 0818 719 390).
While the band's second album, The Trials of Van Occupanther, was in part inspired by the soft(er) rock of the early-to-mid 1970s (from Neil Young and America to Fleetwood Mac), Midlake’s new album also looks to a slightly earlier, and definitely British, trad-tainted folk sound. It may share the same gorgeously analogue-warm electro-acoustic template as Van Occupanther but it’s a slower, darker and more carved record, both eerier and dreamier.
The Courage Of Others will be released on Bella Union Records on 1st February 2010.
