​On this episode we listen to Texas natives Midlake, and their 2004 debut album Bamnan and Slivercork. One of the more successful bands to emerge from the Denton music scene, Midlake's meticulous blending of acoustic guitars and lo-fi electronica create the perfect blend of psychedelic and folk. Vocalist and lead songwriter Tim Smith's whimsical lyricism and Thom Yorke-like falsetto truly sets this album apart from other indie groups of the early aughts, and reminded music lovers everywhere that Austin is not the only city in Texas worth paying attention to.
