Biography:	Formerly one-half of cult Glaswegian indie band Arab Strap, Malcolm Middleton had been a solo artist well before the band split in Dec 2006 after 10 years together. Malcolm has produced three darkly beautiful albums to date: '5:14 Fluoxytine Seagull Alcohol John Nicotine' and 'Into The Woods’ for Chemikal Underground in 2002 and 2005 respectively, and ‘A Brighter Beat’ for new label Full Time Hobby in 2007. Malcolm has recently gained more exposure due to his successful bid for Xmas no 31, with the thought-provoking yet festive missive ‘We’re All Going To Die’. Over the Christmas period, Malcolm gave Sugababes, Sean The Sheep, Katie Melua and the dreaded Xfactor a good run for their money. A month of media madness ensued and witnessed Malcolm doing things he never thought he’d ever do, including reluctantly dressing up as Santa, seeing his face transformed into a mask for a children’s sack race on T4 and recording a session with a professional girls choir for a Christmas special on Colin Murray’s Radio 1 show. All of this resulted in Malcolm becoming the only independent entry in the seasonal chart on the 23rd December 2007. To follow up on this Malcolm is going to release a new album ‘Sleight of Heart’ in March 2008. This album goes for a more stripped down sound than his previous releases, and whilst including six brand new songs, it also offers us Malcolm’s unique take on songs by Madonna, Jackson C Frank and King Creosote. You can hear ‘Blue Plastic Bags’ off of ‘Sleight’ on Malcolm’s Myspace right now. www.myspace.com/malcolmmiddleton (read less) Formerly one-half of cult Glaswegian indie band Arab Strap, Malcolm Middleton had been a solo artist well before the band split in Dec 2006 after 10 years together.

“Right now, everything sounds like a fat child throwing a Casio keyboard down a flight of stairs and hitting an old man at the bottom who's playing Verve songs badly on an over-priced guitar.”
- Malcolm Middleton, describing his work in progress to the Norwich Evening News.
