The Low Miffs and Malcolm Ross - Malcolm Ross and The Low Miffs

This August sees the much anticipated  first fruits of the collaboration between Malcolm Ross, the elder statesman of Postcard pop (Josef K/Orange Juice/Aztec Camera)  and The Low Miffs, Glasgow’s young pretenders to the Post-Punk/Pure Pop throne. Bristling with the kind of effervescent guitar-play you’d expect from a Postcard veteran, The Man Who Took on Love, the album-preceding download single, flits effortlessly from its Television-esque intro and explodes into the self-same virtuoso territory once occupied by both Sparks and The Associates, with an appreciative vocal nod in the direction of both Bowie and Scott Walker. Ambitious? Yes, but in possessing an almost indecent array of collective musical dexterity, they carry it off with great aplomb! This is only one facet of The Low Miffs and Malcolm Ross, but gives some indication of what to expect from the stylistic diversity flaunted on the forthcoming, one-off, album. The Man Who took on Love (and Won) is available as a digital download only, and is followed by the album Malcolm Ross and The Low Miffs on download/CD on September 7th. Press, Radio & Live Coverage in Mojo, Uncut, Clash, Plan B, all the quality newspaper blogs and in print. Lots of Scottish radio interested already, so sessions currently being planned; along with Marc Riley on 6 Music, and Mark Radcliffe on BBC Radio 2. There will be a flurry of UK live shows in September to coincide with album release, plus the possibility of two high-profile supports in Edinburgh and Glasgow.
