Loss and hope, isolation and communion, the cessation and renewal of purpose. These themes echo throughout the 5th album from Midlake, their first since 2013. Reuniting with intense focus after a long hiatus, the result is For the Sake of Bethel Woods - an album with tremendous sonic reach, produced by John Congleton. It's a record full of immersive warmth and mystery from a band of ardent seekers. Deluxe Edition on 180-gram "Blue Sea Foam Wave" vinyl with foil board and signed poster included.
