Midlake

The new Midlake record has come out of nowhere and hit me like a ton of bricks. The Trials of Van Occupanther is an album filled with amazing melodies and great instrumentation. I dont care who you are or what you are into, download this song and check this band out. Top ten of 2006? So far Midlake makes the list.
