Two anonysmus sources were cool enough to link me to two leaked Midlake songs! The songs are both new from their upcoming 2010 album The Courage Of Others.
The songs are “Acts Of Man” & “Rulers Ruling All Things”. They are both pretty songs that we have come to expect from Midlake. Beautiful vocals, clean instrumentation, that all combine to create a sound that gives off earthly imagery. The songs are no “Roscoe”, but I don’t know if they will ever be able to reciprocate that songs loveliness!
I have a good feeling about The Courage Of Others from hearing these two songs!
[mp3] : Midlake – Acts Of Man
[mp3] : Midlake – Rulers Ruling All Things
(the label said its cool to keep them up!)

If these are numbered #1 and #6, the rest must be out there somewhere. Those numbers match their album position as well… we’re getting close.

This is brilliant, thank you!
Van Occupanther is one of my top 50 albums of the decade.
I’ll probably publish them tomorrow, but meanwhile take a look at our 150 favorite songs:

Symon Raymonde has found a real treasure here with Midlake. As prevously mentioned Van Occupanther is a stunning album and this new one is set to be another cracker on the evidence of these two wonderful songs.
