Midlake - Antiphon

[@tymcbee]

Such wonderful rich music...remind me of that group "Yes"...not directly, but with such elaborate arrangements and beautiful vocals. Such good music! Just what I needed.

[@RichardStevenson92]

They do definitely have one foot in that 70's British Prog Rock sound. I get quite a lot of early Genesis, Yes and Jethro Tull.

[@SatyavanDragon]

Antiphon is my favourite album ever. It follows me on my adventures! There's something about this song's that speak the language of my essence. Tks!!!!

[@chikowashere]

I love the bassline here

[@krystinafann4879]

Same. it gets me eveytime!

[@jamesoberg5888]

Saw these dudes open for Band of Horses in Burlington, VT. Perfect show.

Antiphon is a very good example of modern post-rock - an indie genre that takes the instrumentation associated with traditional rock music and advances beyond formal structures of chords and songs to build layered, complex songs which edge towards the progressive style of yore, but retain some of the humiity associated with indie music. The result in Midlake's case is a rich, folk-inspired sound, incorporating vocal harmony - evoking a sort of mid-western, explorer/trapper aesthetic from the late 19th century. It's as if the gold-rush, prospecting and farming pioneers of yesteryear had been given rock guitar lessons. Quite a heady, intoxicating mix - and a very satisfying musical experience! :)

found one of your albums in a box of random cds in my local music store. by far one of the best things ive found :) i love this song and young bride!!!

[@Aacula]

This is fucking incredible. I love how McKenzie used adopted drum patterns from drummers like John Bonham throughout the song.

[@Mrartwist]

[@ChillBuddies]

Great song, great album. 2:30 - 2:45...as deep as music can get ❤ Incredible baselines throughout the song.

[@Simon0]

thanks. I wrote this. actually i didnt. But i do like it.

[@somagoku]

love this sound. Its like Mute-Math meets Pink Floyd, meets Jazz, with a hint of Beatles... Nice cocktail of sound/influences

[@Katzenkaiser]

my only question to Midlake is, did you ever listen to Fossil Collective? The same question I would ask The Innocence Mission about The Sundays, I'm just curious... but the years went by...

[@MotoCrazy66]

lovely stuff!

[@JennyverseLive]

Yep, stlll brilliant!

[@hyperborean72]

Lush music and phenomenal vocal

[@johnbrengelman1226]

I hear harmonies that were in the air in the fifties...The Four Freshmen, for example.

Absolutely correct ..

Tame Impala meets the Temples, love it.

[@mellowtron214]

While I love old Tame Impala, and I enjoy a few tracks by Temples, I can’t say I hear either band in Midlake, or this song especially. They are more folk-jazz fusion. The closest thing would be the guitar tone, and other than being sharp and buzzy, I don’t see the resemblance. Drumming is much different. Singing/lyrics are much different. Bass... well it’s more complex than Temples or Impala. Maybe it’s the synths and piano? Midlake is kind of... unique. Where as temples are clearly influenced by Tame Impala. Midlake reminds me more of a band called Broadcast, not for their sound exactly but more the atmosphere and kind of classic/jazzy mood. Mixed with melancholic dream sounds.
