Video: Midlake - Young Bride

The music of Denton, TX's Midlake speaks for itself. It's absurdly intelligent, but even dummies can relate. Beautifully subtle intricacies mesh into a blanket of flickering campfires, literature, and '70s pop nostalgia. Every harmony and sound is reproduced live. Cannot wait to see this band perform again. For this very occasion, I found an incredible acoustic version of "Roscoe" (my 2006 #2 song of the year). For you, reader. Oh reader, you complete me.
