About

Midlake is an American folk rock band from Denton, Texas, formed in 1999. The band consists of Eric Pulido (vocals, guitar), McKenzie Smith (drums), Eric Nichelson (keyboards, guitar), Jesse Chandler (keyboards, flute, backing vocals), Joey McClellan (guitar, backing vocals) and Scott Lee (bass).

In 2012, vocalist, guitarist and primary songwriter Tim Smith left the band during the recording of its fourth studio album. Following his departure, guitarist and backing vocalist Eric Pulido filled Smith's vacated role, and the band started afresh with its recordings, releasing Antiphon in 2013.
The band first gained popularity in Europe, signing to Bella Union Records and later playing at festivals such as Les Inrockuptibles, Wintercase, End of the Road and South by Southwest.
