The road to *Antiphon* ran through real upheaval: chief songwriter and vocalist Tim Smith departed after *The Courage of Others*, leaving the band to reconstitute around multi-inst rumentalist Eric Pulido. That the group emerged with something this cohesive says everything about the depth of talent Midlake had quietly assembled across their years of cult-favorite folk and psych-rock records. Midlake return with their new studio album 'Antiphon'. An antiphon is a call-and-response style of singing, from Gregorian chants to sea shanties. In the case of Denton, Texas' favorite sons Midlake, it's the perfect title for a bold response to a new phase in the band's illustrious career, with a re-jigged line-up and a newly honed sound as rich and symphonic as it is dynamic and kaleidoscopic.
