Midlake - September 8, 2007

Webster Hall [9 pm to 10:15 pm] ~$17


A beautiful show! Midlake make such pleasantly harmonious sounds. Each song of their set was a perfect choice for the night. Even with technical difficulties and other complications, this band was able to bring pleasure to our night. Watching the keyboardist enjoy his time playing sounds and singing along was infectious. My only complaint is that Webster Hall had the first floor club going and we could all feel the pounding bass of recognizable songs under our feet. It was very disturbing considering Midlake were playing their hushed, soulful sounds. The new song they played (I believe it was called "The Children of the Ground") is a good indication that the next album will be another pleasing Midlake experience. Highlights included "Head Home", "Jungler", "Kingfish Pies" and "Young Bride". Excellent!
