Midlake have announced their sixth studio album “A Bridge To Far” due out November 7th via Bella Union Records.
Produced by Sam Evian (Big Thief, Hannah Cohen, Cass McCombs) at The Echo Lab in Midlake’s hometown of Denton, Texas, the album features guest vocals from Madison Cunningham, Hannah Cohen and Meg Lui.
“Everything felt effortless and authentic,” says Midlake singer and frontman Eric Pulido. “We didn’t overthink things.”
Says Pulido says: “I wrote ‘The Ghouls’ after a conversation within our camp about everyone’s respective goals. The temptation to demonize the realities or challenges that exist and yet to face them head on and create something extraordinary.” Lead singer Eric Pulido describes the record as a reminder that, regardless of circumstance, there is a place — “not made of stone” — where one can find solace and
strength. It’s a call to persevere, to “go bravely arm in arm and climb upon,” inviting listeners to transcend the darkness through connection and belief.
This is MIDLAKE at their most inspired and intentional, weaving together mythic storytelling and
emotional clarity with the signature textures that have made them a touchstone in modern independent music.
Recorded in the band’s hometown of Denton, TX at The Echo Lab with acclaimed producer and mixer Sam Evian, “A Bridge To Far” captures the warmth and wildness of the band’s earliest recordings while pushing into luminous new territory. The first single, “The Ghouls,” arrives as a haunting and propulsive introduction to the record’s themes–equal parts spectral and cathartic.
‘Days Gone By.’ On the video that accompanies the song – the latest single from Midlake’s eagerly awaited sixth studio album the Emmy Award-nominated actor skips along the sidewalk and across the crosswalk in euphoric abandon.
It is then little wonder to know that Trent Crimm, the character that James Lance plays in the comedy-drama, Ted Lasso, sports a Midlake T-shirt in one of the episodes of this popular American TV series.
It is a beautiful song from a beautiful band and there will be ample opportunity to bag your very own Midlake T-shirt when the band from Denton, Texas come back over the Atlantic next year for a run of live dates in the UK and Europe.
Midlake’s A Bridge To Far is a cinematic and soulful return from the beloved Denton, TX band. Their sixth album, produced by Sam Evian, explores themes of hope, humility, and spiritual renewal. From the expansive “The Calling” to the introspective “Guardians,” which features Madison Cunningham, the record blends pastoral folk-rock with emotional clarity. Additional guest vocals from Hannah Cohen and Meg Lui add harmonic depth. Two decades in, Midlake continues to evolve, offering music that feels timeless, heartfelt, and deeply human.
