Brighter Beat, A - Malcolm Middleton > Reviews

Malcolm Middleton is one half of now disbanded Scots indie scenesters, Arab Strap. His solo stuff, for those familiar with the former, is a completely different affair. Middleton sings in his broad west coast scots accent but the songs are more folkey and acoustic. They are also far more tuneful which may or may not be to everyone's taste. Overall, it's an excellent album and it's nice to hear a Scotsman who doesn't put on a whiney half american accent (snow patrol) for a change. Buy this if you'd like to hear some modern Scottish music or just a decent folk, indie album. I wouldn't imagine you'll be dissapointed.
