Some amazing music by a rock band I've never previously heard of, Midlake, on NPR.
A sort of somber Popol Vuh-meets-Byrds vibe (with just an occasional dainty touch of some rootsier Americana here and there). I'm totally loving it. Seems like they're streaming the whole album, which has a nice ritualistic sameness throughout, gorgeous harmonies and rippling guitars. Catch it while you can.
