Oak and Julian is a solid Extended Play release with the first half of it
featuring two acoustic versions of songs from 2006's Trials of Van Occupanther and
the latter half featuring two B-Sides from their first two albums. The B-Side "Marion"
sounds right at home on Trials and sounds as if it was an obscure forgotten piece of
that record. "Mornings will be Kind" sounds more akin to there 2004 Debut Bamnan and
Slivercork with the trademark inflating synthesizers of that release dominating the
scope of the song. The acoustic version of "Roscoe" in particular is the highlight of this
collection and shows how layered and brooding Midlake's songwriting can be when stripped to
their bare essentials. If you find yourself to be a moderate fan of Midlake, this is a
really solid release and would be well worth your time checking out.
