That Midlake album is an interesting one, particularly the first half. Nice twist on folk-rock, maybe call it "texas soft-folk/psych"??? Roscoe, Young Bride, Bandits....love the strong bass lines on Roscoe and the harmonies throughout.

Yep, Tim Smith was a genius but I happen to like the band's stuff better since his departure. It's as if they are all now equally allowed to shine instead of playing in his shadows--as the 'Tim Smith support band' if yo will. Occupanther was their pinnacle together, Courage of Others was the Tim Smith solo show and the band's unraveling. (In my opinion. I don't actually know any of the band's interpersonal dynamics.)
Antiphon is by far and away my favorite album from them, though.

You've got me, John! I can tell it's been a while since I revised and updated my lists cuz ONE SHOT, 00100, ANTIQUE SEEKING NUNS would definitely be on my lists if I had. More work and studying to do! Thanks, man!

Awesome list, Ian! more undiscovered territory as well as a few more reminders of some beauties I'd somehow left out (ONE SHOT, ANTIQUE SEEKING NUNS, PANZERPAPPA, YUGEN, DIABLO SWING ORCHESTRA).
