Written By: Big C

There are moments when instinct rises louder than reason, and music becomes the place where we remember we’re still wild. On Eyes Full Of Animal, Midlake tap into that primal pulse once more, unfurling a psychedelic, groove-laden meditation that breathes with earthy mystique and quiet urgency. The track marks the final preview from their upcoming album A Bridge To Far, arriving on November 7. Built on hypnotic bass, cascading textures, and Midlake’s signature harmonies, “Eyes Full Of Animal” feels like standing inside a dream where nature stares back with understanding, and warning. It’s familiar yet enlarged, like a folk tale retold under a violet sky.

Midlake move with instinct here — less referencing influences, more embodying their own evolving myth. With this new body of work already hailed as one of their finest since The Trials Of Van Occupanther. Produced by Sam Evian and recorded at The Echo Lab in Denton, TX, the album welcomes ethereal guest vocals from Madison Cunningham, Hannah Cohen, and Meg Lui, weaving threads of light into the band’s cinematic folk-rock tapestry. Early singles like The Ghouls, Days Gone By, and The Calling have already signaled a band in exquisite form, driven by trust, time, and a devotion to craft. Pre-save "A Bridge To Far," and let “Eyes Full of Animal” visualize guide you deeper into Midlake’s world. Connect with Midlake on FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM, TWITTER, and YOUTUBE.
