The album, described as being in the same vein as Neil Young’s “Harvest,” made it into many end-of-year lists, including the Uncut Top 10.

Midlake are currently on a major US tour, but will play a six shows around the soon-to- be remixed and re-released single “Roscoe.”

Midlake said that they “initially resisted the (many) offers to remix the track… perfect as it is… but the interest was so great that we relented. More info to follow soon… but trust us, what we’ve so far heard sounds amazing.”
