Bananas

2019 release from the Arab Strap member. Malcolm Middleton is back, again, with his seventh studio album Bananas, this time on the East Neuk of Fife's Triassic Tusk Records. The guitarist and songwriter is best known for his work with Aidan Moffat in the Scottish indie band Arab Strap, as well as for his string of DPR$$N-CORE smash hit solo singles. On Bananas Malcolm has teamed up with the acclaimed not-jazz trio (David Jeans/drums, Stevie Jones/double bass, and Graeme Smillie/piano) to produce an album that is both scathing and nice. Malcolm continues to report back from the depths of the everyday, whilst simultaneously attempting to monetise hell. Adding a dose of saccharine to the mix are the Samaratinesque choir of Kenny Anderson (King Creosote), Jenny Reeve (Bdy_Prts) and Dan Willson (Withered Hand). Recorded and Mixed by Paul Savage (Mogwai, Delgados) at Chem19 Studios in Glasgow.
