Where this album fits

Career context
Released in 2010, The Courage of Others is Midlake's third studio album, following their critically acclaimed 2006 record, The Trials of Van Occupanther. At this point, the band was transitioning from their earlier folk-rock sound towards more expansive and contemplative themes, partially influenced by lineup changes and evolving musical aspirations.
