Midlake stays ahead of its own time by making music that transcends it. On the band's forthcoming album, "The Courage of Others", set to be released on February 2, Midlake are still themselves and yet completely reinvented, so much so that between the time they started working on the record and the time they finished it, the title track was re-recorded down to every note.

The Dutchess and the Duke sophomore record, Sunset / Sunrise, is a slump-dodging opus that takes the dark, raw beauty of the band's debut and scales it up to distinctly luminescent heights, thanks to a graceful synthesis of painfully earned creative maturity and thoughtfulness.
