This week we're talking to Eric Pulido of Denton, TX baroque folk-rock greats Midlake who just released A Bridge To Far, their sixth album overall and second since coming back from a nearly 10-year hiatus. Our conversation happened back in September, and we talked about recording the album with producer Sam Evian and how that differed from working with John Congleton on 2022's For the Sake of Bethel Woods, and how this might be their Midlake-iest album yet.   Other topics of conversation include getting Ted Lasso actor James Lance to star in the video for "Days Gone By" which was shot in one take on the streets of New York's Lower East Side, other songs on the record, upcoming tour plans, the difficulties of covering The Beatles, five records he thinks everyone should own and more.   -- Credits: Hosted & produced by Bill Pearis Mixed and mastered by Nick Gray Theme music by Michael Silverstein
