Beloved for their cinematic songwriting and atmospheric blend of folk, rock,
and psychedelia, MIDLAKE returns with their sixth studio album, A Bridge To
Far — a sweeping, soul-stirring meditation on resilience and hope
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.
