Loss and hope, isolation and communion, the cessation and renewal of purpose. These themes echo throughout the 5th album from Midlake, their first since 2013. Reuniting with intense focus after a long hiatus, the result is For the Sake of Bethel Woods — an album with tremendous thematic and sonic reach, produced by John Congleton. It’s a record full of immersive warmth and mystery from a band of ardent seekers. Indie Exclusive Coke Bottle Clear LP in gatefold jacket.
