Midland Discusses New Album ‘Barely Blue,’ Working With Dave Cobb: ‘The Most Fun We’ve Ever Had in the Studio’


Midland tells Billboard about the trio's new album 'Barely Blue' and opens up about working with producer Dave Cobb.

A decade ago, Midland’s Mark Wystrach, Jess Carson and Cameron Duddy holed up at the iconic Sonic Ranch studios in Tornillo, Texas, and made their initial recordings as a trio. “It completes a full circle back to our first album, where it was a fully immersive, experiential recording process, as opposed to going in with a set list of songs that we had to cut,” Wystrach says, adding, “I think he was probably the most fun we’ve ever had in the studio. “It’s a way we’ve always wanted to record because when we read stories of how some of our favorite albums were made, like the Rolling Stones in France making Exile [on Main St.], they’re in this sort of live-in space and they have time on their hands to tinker with things.
