 Interesting Album April 22, 2010

The change of style from this to Tales of Van Occupanther is striking. But this is a very good album that takes a few listens. if you like The eels then you will like this. Persevere...its worth it

If you know and like Midlake, you will like this, if you like Fleet Foxes, close harmony, strange lyrics, unusual musical instruments, BUY IT..

I'm glad I bought my copy of The Trials of Van Ocupanther ahead of Bamnan and Silvercork as I fell in love instantly with 'the trials..' but had to work very hard to love Bamnan - had I heard it first I would have binned it after a couple of listens and forgot Midlake existed. . . but eventually the tunes on this disc get inside you and . . . I'm in love.
Unlike other reviewers I'm not familiar with the sound of Grandaddy and so can't make comparisons, but then Bamnan and Silvercork sounds like nothing else I know, but curiously I wouldn't say this recording has a unique sound to it. Listen hard and be rewarded.

I bought this album after falling in love with the second one and it was a bit of a surprise on first hearing it how different it is from it's succesor. Once this initial shock subsided though I fell in love with this one too. There are similarities to Grandaddy and maybe that was why the second album took a new direction, but this album is far better than The Software Slump.
There are plenty of highlights but for me 'Moppers Medley' about the caretaker who shows the health & safety inspector around the apartment block in which he works to see the air-vents & electrical outlets, whilst they secretly hold a torch for each other, and the absolutely barking 'Kingfish Pies' are very loveable songs.
Packed full of great stories, good tunes and musical inventivity this is a great - if only distantly related - companion to Van Occupanther.

I bought this Midlake album on the strength of hearing Balloon Maker on the brilliant radio show, Rocket ScienceAll the songs are of the Grandaddy mould but not exactly similar. There is the same cleverness of lyrics and the vocals do sound very much like Jason Lyttle but that is not a bad thing, I have four Grandaddy albums but this is still very much a welcome addition to my collection. Balloon Maker is a brilliant track, but the songs are consistently good throughout, I also thought I heard a touch of some stuff that sounded a bit like David Byrne's solo work. In general, it's a top album.
