We are very pleased we can announce a solo acoustic show of no one else but Malcolm Middleton for Incubated 13 on Thursday January 5 in Paradox! Middleton is the first officially confirmed act for the January edition of Incubated.

Before Malcolm Middleton began making great solo albums, he was one of the main members of Arab Strap, together with Aidan Moffat. The highly influential Scottish indierock band called it a day in 2006. Middleton: “It was a good time to call it a day. Unless there’s a definite need and desire for us to play, I don’t think we should ever get back together”. He already made 2 solo albums then: ‘5:14 Fluoxytine Seagull Alcohol John Nicotine‘ and ‘Into The Woods‘ on which the songs still had a very sensible Arab Strap-feel.  Anyway, it was a logical step for Malcolm Middleton to start a solocareer from there on. His first post-Arab Strap album was called ‘A Brighter Beat‘ which got very good reviews. While the music began to sound a bit more optimistic, his lyrics were still very depressing, thus generating a schizofrenic record. 2008-follow-up ‘Sleight Of Heart‘ and ‘Waxing Gibbous’ (2009) continued on the set path: indierock with a wide range of instruments, full of self-loathing lyrics and black humor (his Christmas single was called ‘We’re All Going To Die’). Malcolm Middleton is Malcolm Middleton and will always be Malcolm Middleton. A unique artist in every way.
And this time, he’ll perform a unique solo acoustic show at Incubated!
