Late Night Tales

The "Late Night Tales" series was launched in 2001. The idea: pick an internationally known artist with a great musical knowledge, offer them the chance to choose and mix all their favorite "home listening" and musically inspiring tracks, together with an exclusive cover recording of an all time favorite song. 23 albums and over 1 million sales later, Late Night Tales is proud to present Midlake to the decade old series.

Formed in small town Denton in Texas, over the course of almost a decade, Midlake has quietly become one of the most alluring acts to come out of America. With their reputation as endless hard workers and live shows that leave audiences in stunned awe, it's unsurprising that Midlake have attracted an ever expanding fan-base from around the word. Taking their time over album releases - The Courage of Others was released six years after their debut - Midlake have clearly followed the same process when choosing tracks to feature on their Late Night Tales compilation. Carefully selecting tracks from the likes of uniquely creative Comus, to obscure Edinburgh threesome Bread, Love and Dreams, Midlake's is certainly one of the more enchanting and captivating track listings. Journeying across the plains of North America, the wilds of the British Isles and fleeting visits to Holland and Iceland, Midlake's Late Night Tales is a voyage through all that mesmerises and enchants. Incorporating tracks from the likes of deeply seductive vocalist Scott Walker to Bjork, Midlake's installment certainly does not disappoint. Beach House's captivating and thought provoking "Silver Soul" further launches Midlake's compilation into the realm of the imaginary and magical.
