Malcolm Middleton is a singer/songwriter, best known for being one half of Scottish band Arab Strap.
In 2002, while in between Arab Strap albums, both he and bandmate Aidan Moffat pursued different solo projects, Moffat’s being the ambient Lucky Pierre. Malcolm, writing lyrics and singing for the first time, recorded the cathartic 5:14 Fluoxytine Seagull Alcohol John Nicotine for Chemikal Underground.
He released the slightly more optimistic album Into The Woods in the summer of 2005, again between Arab Strap records.
In late 2006, Arab Strap split after ten years together, leading Malcolm to focus on his solo work full-time. He swiftly signed to Full Time Hobby and the appropriately-titled third album, A Brighter Beat, was released in February 2007.
December 2007 witnessed an unlikely turn in Malcolm’s career as he put himself forward as a contender for Christmas no 1 alongside Sean The Sheep, Mariah Carey and the Xfactor. Needless to say, the coveted top spot went to fellow Scot Leon Jackon of Xfactor but Malcolm made a sizeable dent in the festive 40, being the only independent entry at no 31 with We’re All Going To Die.
Malcolm is about to embark on a 14 date UK tour in March with latest album, Sleight of Heart and is also going to play shows in Australia and Tokyo.

Interesting - I'd say the new album is by far the worst record hes ever been involved with...which is a shame. There were potentially some nice songs on there but it REALLY needs editing. Too many extravagant bridges/changes and all the songs just far too long. Strip his material down and Malcolm is one of the best songwriters out there. Sad to see him move on but hopefully the Bush Hall gig on tues will be as good as the one on record!

wow. I wasn't too crazy about Waxing Gibbous at first.. my favorite albums are 5.14 Fluoxytine and Sleight Of Heart, as you'll notice his acoustic material. Gibbous contained some of that electronic shite his other albums had which would turn me off but.. now after returning back to it after failed attempts here and there it's starting to hit me now!

Finally got round to getting the new album. Love on the run is my current favourite even though its Red Travellin Socks that seems to have become lodged in my brain!

Waxing Gibbous is gorgeous... plain and simple. "Shadows" is charming, "Box&Knife" stunning, "Don't Want To Sleep Tonight" breathtaking beauty. IMHO - Malcolm at his best

Box & Knife is a brilliant song, I love when it gets heavier at the chorus

Everyone's commenting on the new album. Haven't heard it yet. But if it's anything like his older stuff (which is what I have discovered only in the past week or so), I think I might enjoy it too.
