The captivating 5th solo album of MALCOLM MIDDLETON (ex ARAB STRAP)'Waxing Gibbous', is the next defining statement in Malcolm's journey & his best yet!Having toured Australia in 2008, Middleton presents a new album adorned with his usualblend of darkness & irony, humour & intimacy - not to mention an Australian-exclusivecover of LADYHAWKE's mega-hit, 'My Delirium'. 'Waxing Gibbous' is the album Scotland's Malcolm Middleton & this new opus is composed fromyears' worth of scribbles in notebooks, which were "chiseled and connived into being songs". Though self-produced, the album was recorded with the help of a few friends: it features backingvocals from KING CREOSOTE and THE PICTISH TRAIL, the piano skills of BARRY BURNS fromMOGWAI, and the honeyed vocals of JENNY REEVE. And there are surprises in store. He raps! Hespeaks! He plays slap bass! He sings about socks! (album opener "Red Travellin' Socks") Heck, thebrilliant "Zero" even gets close to full-blown '80s hip hop. Comes with a bonus 7" vinyl single.
