Woodland-inhabiting Americana merchants Midlake will release a limited edition 12" this coming Monday. Just how limited is it, you ask? Well, it's limited to just 500 copies, which I'd say isn't actually very many...
It contains the tracks 'Acts Of Man' and 'Rulers, Ruling All Things' and will include download codes and such for the two tracks and will be stocked at a SELECT few outlets:
• Piccadilly Records, Norman Records, Boomkat, Action Records, Monorail, Juno, RecordStore.co.uk, Phonica, Resident and Sister Ray.
Their new one will be released on February 1 2010 through Bella Union, and is called The Courage of Others. The number of tracks has been kept to a trim eleven, and are named and ordered as follows:
• Acts of Man
• Winter Dies
• Small Mountain
• Core of Nature
• Fortune
• Rulers, Ruling All Things
• Children of the Grounds
• Bring Down
• The Horn
• The Courage of Others
• In The Ground
