I discovered Midlake a few years back (you were the sole Artist Recommendation on Scott Matthews' ReverbNation page -- scottmatthewsuk). I connected to your music instantly and am always trying to turn people on to it. Love the new album and so glad that you released it. Anyway...
I find your vocal harmonies mesmerizing. On past releases, Eric's harmonies (in particular) are odd, beautiful, and like nothing I could have expected. I'm wondering...
1) With Eric taking the lead, did responsibilities shift insofar as who wrote or improvised harmonies on the new record?
2) Who is mainly singing Eric's harmony parts live? And did the 3rd and 4th harmonies shift as well?
