The long awaited re-release of Midlake’s 2001 EP ‘Milkmaid Grand Army’ is now a reality. Slated for release on November 28, 2006, The 7 song EP was originally released independently exactly 5 years earlier in November of 2001. The initial pressing was a modest 1000 copies and once the stock was depleted, the band decided to cease production, making the recording a rare collectors item. That is, until now. With the release of Milkmaid Grand Army, Midlake reveals the beginning stages of a music career that has proven prosperous and continues to gain momentum.
Their latest album ‘The Trials of Van Occupanther’, released on Bella Union Records this past July, has already sold over 25,000 copies worldwide and promises further success. Between the album’s merit and the band’s recent tours both abroad and stateside, Midlake have gained a fan base resembling that of a ‘who’s who’ list of bands, including, The Flaming Lips, Keane, Belle and Sebastian, and Grandaddy. Midlake have joined the Flaming Lips on several shows throughout this past Summer and Fall with enthusiastic reviews from both critics and fans alike. The newyear will see Midlake embarking on their first ever American headlining tour, which is sure to reveal the band’s strong fan representation all over the country.
