It’s been over a year and a half since Midland released their critically acclaimed debut album, On the Rocks, and the guys are just as eager to get a new album out as their fans are to hear new music. “We’re putting the final touches on it,” says Cameron Duddy. “We’ve learned a lot from our first album. Shoot, when we did “Drinkin’ Problem” single, that was like three years ago. So we’ve grown a lot, put a lot of miles on the road, and learned a lot of things about our live show, and that influenced a lot of decisions that we made on the album, and wanted to make it fresh, but it’s still Midland.”
Something else Cameron is excited about on their sophomore album is the cohesiveness among the band. He says, “We had our band play on the album this time, our road band, the guys that we spend every waking hour together. We’ve got a musical connection that we wanted to capture on the album. So in those ways it’s changed for the better, for sure.”
Midland’s next album will be released later this year and will feature their latest single, “Mr. Lonely.”
Midland – update on next album :37
Cameron Duddy – “We’re putting the final touches on it. We’ve learned a lot from our first album. Shoot, when we did “Drinkin’ Problem” single, that was like three years ago. So we’ve grown a lot, put a lot of miles on the road, and learned a lot of things about our live show, and that influenced a lot of decisions that we made on the album, and wanted to make it fresh, but it’s still Midland. It’s all of us playing all our songs. I think one big difference that we hope you can hear is a cohesion in the band. We had our band play on the album this time, our road band, the guys that we spend every waking hour together. We’ve got a musical connection that we wanted to capture on the album. So in those ways it’s changed for the better, for sure.”
