“One of Britain’s most underrated and vital songwriters” - Q
Returning after a two year self-imposed “Song Strike”, Malcolm Middleton is once again taking to the stage in an effort to comfort and cajole like-minded souls across the land. After five critically acclaimed solo albums - not to mention the six prior to that with Scottish indie-rock legends Arab Strap - Malcolm decided it was time to stop writing “shit songs” and get the gardening done.
“His “usual shite” is a great deal better than much of the so-called best work produced by others in his profession” - Music Week
With the gardening leave completed and all that fresh air savoured, Malcolm has now picked up his guitar with a renewed sense of enthusiasm and vitality: ready, once again, to let the...um, devil (and the angel) ride out. Covering material from his past and future, the main bulk of the performance will comprise of intimate acoustic songs delivered in his usual idiosyncratic style: some known, some dangerously new and unheard...
“I think it’s a good time to revisit some of the “highlights” from my 10 year song-writing career, whilst also getting the chance to work out some new material for my next solo album in a live environment” - MM
In addition to the older material he will also be performing under his new guise 'Human Don’t Be Angry', previewing music from the forthcoming Chemikal Underground album, “Midnight Noodles”:
“Compelling, semi-instrumental psalms”, “ace and heady” – The List
“Not unlike a one-man Mogwai but gentler, warm and perfectly experienced from a rickety theatre seat with a big bottle of nice beer to hand” – Sounds XP
Not content to simply trawl his past while inventing his future, Malcolm delves even further back in time to offer a new album of rare & unreleased songs. “A Quarter Past Shite” brings together a collection of songs written between 1994 and 2001 that were deemed too “negative and depressing” to appear on his debut album “5:14 fluoxytine seagull alcohol john nicotine”. Jesus Christ. This album, along with the official Human Don’t Be Angry “Live At Leeds” bootleg CD, will be available exclusively at live shows in the UK throughout December.
