As they prepared to embark on an extensive tour of the UK, ambient alt-rock staples Midlake have unveiled the new video for ‘The Old & The Young’.
Directed by Ollie Murray (not Ollie Murs, that would be AMAZING) in Hillesden, Buckinghamshire on the sheep farm he grew up on, the video also features John Campling as the hermit, an actor who the Muggles amongst you might recognise from the last two Harry Potter films as the leader of the Death Eater. Carry on.
“Ollie really captured the essence of this song in style, vibe, and emotion” said the band “We’re really excited to birth this one and hope you dig it!”
