Midlake - The Courage of Others
Midlake, a long-time favorite of DeadJournalist.com (and an interview alum), will be releasing their new album, The Courage of Others, on February 2, 2010.
In advance of the album, Midlake’s Tim Smith put together a playlist of some of the British folk songs that inspired the band while recording their new album. Those songs are available below via lala.com.

I love the idea behind this post! I’m sure not every band would be so forthcoming about their influences, but this is great!
