“To Each His Own” ist eine persönliche Platte. Sänger Eric Brandon Pulido philosophiert in seinen Texten über seinen Platz in der Welt, die Entscheidungen, die er getroffen hat, und den Ort, an dem sie ihn getroffen haben. Oder, wie er “To Each His Own” beschreibt: “an eleven-song journey through the life and times of a wayward Midlaker seeking to find purpose in an uncharted land. Will he find his way? Listen, and ye shall find.”
Pulidos unkonventionelle Phase begann 2014 mit einer Pause von Midlake, “to invest time in kids and musical projects less physically demanding”, sagt er. Sein erstes Projekt war das transatlantische Kollektiv BNQT bestehend aus Pulido, Ben Bridwell (Band of Horses), Fran Healy (Travis), Jason Lytle (Granddaddy) und Alex Kapranos (Franz Ferdinand), der das Album aufgenommen hat.
Solo-Debüts distanzieren sich normalerweise von ihrer musikalischen Vergangenheit, aber E.B. The Younger erkennt Midlakes Präsenz auf “To Each His Own” offen an, von den drei Midlakers in seiner neuen Band bis zu einem Albumtitel, der auf seine Erinnerungen an Banddiskussionen zurückgeht.
“It’s very common in bands to have artistic differences, and we were no exception. Saying ‘To each his own’ was almost a way to collectively acquiesce and move forward when differences would arise. It’s OK that we feel differently, because both opinions are valid. The phrase is also about me doing something on my own, a statement that it’s OK to define who you are outside of what has defined you before.”
