...according to our Brian on 28 February 2008.

Now former Arab Strap face Malcolm Middleton. Must admit i prefer the ginna's stuff to the monobrow's. Probably get Mogwai down here trying to bum me with bottles of voddy for that one. Hahaha. 'Sleight of Heart' is full of his post-folk, orchestral pop that is really bloody well written, it hurts. This is up there with Yorkston & better than Creosote in my bag. His homely lyrics about the small things in life over an earthy, warm and full backing just reek of cosy nights with family in country pubs drinking real ale & punching each others face off after 20 pints. And running over badgers. Well sometimes. Nah, serious, this man's got real soul & his guitar playing is true folk loveliness. CD atm, with vinyl to follow.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
