Biography:
Midlake is an American rock band from Denton, Texas, that formed in 1999. The band first gained popularity in Europe.
Midlake began in 1999 by a group of jazz students at the University of North Texas. The original lineup consisted of Tim Smith (vocals, guitars, keyboards), McKenzie Smith (drums), Paul Alexander (bass), Eric Nichelson (guitar), and Evan Jacobs (keyboards). Their initial work (under the working name The Cornbread All-Stars) consisted of funk/jazz explorations heavily influenced by Herbie Hancock.

Off the album: Bamnan and Silvercork
In 3/4 or 6/8, quarter note 164bpm, eigth note 164bpm, I'll consider as if 3/4
Synth basically arpeggiates the chords and plays pads of them while guitar strums them out underneath,
the brushes in this song are real FTWBRUSHES
Mostly I just use typical bar shapes for this, but for the Gmaj and Ebmaj i use shapes that i learned
from Starship Trooper by Yes, eh use them or don't i just like them cause they are more comfortable for me.
