Do512 - What to do in Austin

Though you can listen to the upcoming Midlake record The Courage of Others at NPR, we think it's a lot more fun to get together with friends, have a couple beers, and give away some vinyl when we do a listening party. That's why we're teaming up with WOXY again for another listening party at the Scoot Inn on February 2 at the Scoot Inn. Join us! In addition to the CD and digital album release, the band will release a deluxe edition, featuring a copy of the band’s short film directed by Jason Lee, a double LP, 45 rpm version of the record, a 32-page book and a live CD. We'll have a few goodies (some vinyl included) for contest winners and much more at the event, so come on out and say hello.

Midlake’s latest album, The Courage of Others is out a week from today, via Bella Union, and  this week, the album is streaming in it’s entirety over at NPR Music, as part of their Discover Songs: First Listen feature. The album, their fist since 2006’s The Trials of Van Occupanther features the Texas folk rockers doing what they do best, creating orchestral vintage-inspired rock.

In addition to the CD and digital album release, the band will release a deluxe edition, featuring a copy of the band’s short film directed by Jason Lee, a double LP, 45 rpm version of the record, a 32-page book and a live CD.
