Midlake - "Milkmaid Grand Army" @ Score! Music Magazine

	Midlake - Milkmaid Grand Army (EP)
	Location	Denton, Texas
	Initial Impression	Not sure why I was expecting metal. Something with the word "Army" in the CD title I think?
Notable Lyric	"Somewhere far away in my mind I'll dream. And call out loud without inviting you." – "Paper Gown"
Factoid	The band is currently writing and recording a full-length CD due out later this year.
Serve With	A Yellow Submarine – where we should live.
Comments	I dig everything from the murmury underwater vocals that remind of The Beatles, to the straightforward not-too-technical or over-thought "She Removes Her Spiral Hair," and the smart lyrics displayed throughout the EP. "Excited But Not Enough" lends a more modern style with fuzzy guitars while "Roller Skate" has a bit of (grimace) The Vines, but it works for them. There's obviously a very strong 60s influence and a sound that borders on melancholy -- but not enough to bring you down.
