An early present in 2010 will come in the shape of a new album from Midlake. "The Courage of Others" is the band's first in 3 years and will contain 11 tracks in total. To quote guitarist Eric Pulido " We didn't want to make the same album as Van Occupanther, so we carried on moving and creating and pushing for a newer sound and emotion.". The album will be released February 2 on Bella Union.
