New Old Music from Malcolm Middleton
Long have I adored the work of Malcolm Middleton, ever since he worked in Arab Strap. Luckily, since it’s raining, I opted to pick up his new LP, which is basically his first album of recordings that never saw the light of day until now. He’s been really busy lately, or so it seems on his site, so I’m happy to pick up A Quarter Past Shite. It’s mostly Malcolm and his guitar, with a real melancholy bent on the lyrical matter. Apparently, the sadness of the songs kept him from publishing it until now, but I’m glad he did, as it makes for a great listen on this dreary day here in Austin.
