Mull Historical Society – Public Service Announcer
Biography
Mull is an island off the west coast of Scotland — the name comes from an actual genealogical society on the island, who have since changed their name to the Mull Historical and Archaeological Society.
Mull uses a lot of unusual techniques and instruments. For example, Colin is credited to have played ‘Seagulls’ and ‘Fire Extinguisher’ for the song Gravity, and played ‘Beer Kegs’ on the song Death of a Scientist, which was written about the late Dr David Kelly. Also, Colin frequently samples the sounds of the world around him into his songs. For example, an public announcement from the Glasgow Subway in Public Service Announcer and the end of Final Arrears features part of the shipping forecast.
A staple of Colin’s tours and album art—which is itself usually very diverse, featuring everything from arty shots to plain landscapes and usually has MS Paint drawings by Colin himself—is ‘The Giant Dog With The Wig’, an oversize model of a dog with a large comedy blue wig on. The dog has become such a symbol of Colin’s music that in the video for How ‘Bout I Love You More, Colin’s ‘spaceship’ is the dog itself.

Andy Murray, lol

\/ You mean Andy Murray looks like a more feminine, scrawny and homelier Colin MacIntyre :)

Looks like a more manly, rugged and handsomer Andy Murray.

The band is one of my best discovery. And I found it in a very strange way. I was just digging in the Low Price basket in the music store and suddenly I saw the amazingly odd cover of "Loss" album. I thought: "Let's check it" and bought the album. Not knowing anything about the music and the band. Since that MHS is one of my favourite bands.
