Midlake returns with A Bridge To Far, their sixth studio album and most emotionally resonant work to date. Written and recorded in Denton, TX with producer Sam Evian, the record explores themes of hope, humility, and perseverance—blending the band’s cinematic folk-rock sound with renewed clarity and purpose. Songs like “The Calling,” “Days Gone By,” and “Guardians” reflect on personal transformation, spiritual grounding, and the unseen forces that carry us forward. “Guardians” features a powerful vocal duet between Eric Pulido and Madison Cunningham, while Hannah Cohen and Meg Lui add harmonies across the record. Spontaneous moments—like dueling saxophones or shifting tempos—add warmth and surprise, while Pulido’s lyrics explore both the personal and the eternal. After two decades, Midlake remains a band grounded in shared connection, always evolving while holding onto what matters most. A Bridge To Far is a testament to that bond—an album that dares to believe in something just beyond reach. TRACKLIST Days Gone By A Bridge to Far The Ghouls Guardians ft.
