Mitchell Museum
Glasgow trio Mitchell Museum share new track Hold Me Up, as a taster for new album Skinny Tricks. The track is available as a free download from Friday 24th January 2020 here.
Hold Me Up doesn't feature on the new album, but lays out the groundwork for what is to be expected from the Skinny Tricks. The new album is due out Friday 15th May 2020 via Scottish Fiction.
With their first release since 2017 album Everett Trap, Mitchell Museum find themselves back with renewed purpose, a whole bag of new tracks, fun, and innovative use of conversations with the bands family and friendsweaved throughout. Speaking of the album, frontman Cammy Macfarlane explains, “Skinny Tricks features my friends and family as cut up, reversed samples from loads of WhatsApp or Facebook videos and the like. I kind of warped a lot of spoken audio to turn everyone into a collective instrument; we've got nephews as synth chords, and mums as percussive loops all over the album. The original idea was to do with the fact that we are all constantly documenting our lives via social media apps and I wanted to somehow emulate that constant chatter throughout the album.”
