Above, the album artwork for the new The Streets, Everything Is Borrowed. It’s due to be in an online store on 15th September.
The new album should be a much more positive affair than the previous release, The Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living. Some of the official blurb says:
From its uplifting title-track - a euphoric meditation on how to make the best of life’s infinite possibilities – to the almost mystical finale, “The Escapist” (wherein Mike Skinner happily ponders the insignificance of “little, fleeting, momentary me” in the dappled sunlight of his “favourite tree”), Everything Is Borrowed seems to be lit from within by a healing flame of optimism. Freed from celebrity hang-ups and savouring a thrilling rush of new-found perspective, Mike Skinner has made a record to console the lonely and bring a smile to the saddest visage. Warm-hearted, witty and utterly distinctive, this is music to help Britain through the credit-crunch.
Sounds fine by me, I didn’t like The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living. Too dark. However I loved Original Pirate Material
Now all that blabla to say that the cover looks a lot like Skógafoss to me.
ooh skógafoss looks like a wonderful place!!
Absolutely. It’s in South Iceland where the landscape is a combination of deserts and mountains. Once in a while you meet a huge waterfall. It’s astonishing…
