Midlake by Eli Janish
“A Fountain is a song about the pain of being crippled by unrequited love,” Midlake’s Tim Smith said.
Midlake singer Tim Smith is streaming his latest Harp single A Fountain.
Smith’s debut album with his wife Kathi Zung, Albion, is due for release on December 1st after being officially announced last month.
“Along came ‘80s music,” he reminisced of its inspiration. “I knew of bands and I had heard the odd song, but I had never dug deep into Joy Division, Cocteau Twins, The Smiths, Tears For Fears before.”
The major album for me though was The Cure’s Faith, which I listened to non-stop for three years. That music really resonated with me, so I was led in a different direction, which took a long time to figure out, because I was on my own, learning how to record better, mix better, write better.
