Midlake released this album in 2006 and I'm glad they did. The entire concept of this record is a strange balance of lyrically driven storytelling using the instrumentals as both a way to set the background and a jump off point for a lot of the melodies they create here, unlike some bands who approach making an album kind of one sided. Roscoe, a track on this cd provides a look at what this band is all about, an almost eerie recollection of the past. It's one of my favorite songs and, all together, a worthwhile album to own. Thank you, Midlake!!
