Every once in a while I harken back to an album that I think is incredible for not only it's sonic and musical prowess, but as a concept album as well (imagining life as an early settler in Texas). The Trials of Van Occupanther by Midlake is one of those albums that needs to be studied in a lab and dissected. It's unique yet familiar, complex yet accessible, beautiful yet haunting.
I just wish more people heard it.
