Midlake will release their new album, A Bridge To Far, on November 7th via Believe/Midlake Records. The album was produced by Sam Evian (Big Thief, Hannah Cohen, Cass McCombs) at The Echo Lab in Midlake’s hometown of Denton, TX. An official music video for the song is out today.

“I really liked where we landed with “The Calling,”” says singer/guitarist Eric Pulido. “A driving vibe that opens up nicely with the horn section Jesse and Sam devised so perfectly. Lyrically, the song has to do with my own struggle with applying myself towards a given effort; denying or embracing that which we were made to do.”

“The Calling” follows the release of the music video for “Days Gone By.” Directed by filmmaker Taylor McFadden and produced by Lavinia Jones Wright (co-founders of the production company I Play Different, whose mission is to center female-driven storytelling) and starring Emmy Award-nominated actor James Lance (Ted Lasso, Black Mirror, Toast of London) with choreography by Phil Cogan (Hamilton).

“The reference and inspiration is Midlake,” says Pulido. “This album is less about referencing someone else’s sound and more about sounding like us. The album title and track, not a typo, explores the hope, belief, and ultimate path to something or somewhere greater, despite the circumstances. Escapism can be a double-edged sword, but the desire is to encourage it for good. Making this record with the band and producer Sam Evian at Echo Lab was a great experience and the perfect match for these songs. To just play in the room together and capture an authentic interpretation of songs is a great joy, and on this album, we did just that. Stylistically, there’s familiarity in places we’ve been as a band in the past, as well as new places. Thank you for sticking with us after all these years, or for discovering us for the first time…we’re still here and grateful for that and so much more.”
