The pop spectacularity that is the Mull Historical
Society release 'Am I Wrong' on 2nd June.
This is the second single to be taken from the 'Us'
album, released earlier this year.
The one-man society that is Colin MacIntyre created
one of the most treasured albums of 2001. The fantastic
'Loss' went on to sell over 70,000 copies in the UK
and spawned more web searches for Mull than if Playboy
were to set up a Scottish Mansion! Returning at the
start of this year with the acclaimed second album 'Us'
and a bona-fide Top 40 hit, 'Final Arrears' the Mull
Historical Society will be one of 2003's shiniest stars.
'Am I Wrong' is a stand-out track on an album of songs
that are head and shoulders above the rest. From the
intro you swell along with piano and cymbals as they
rise and fall throughout. The uplifting lyrics and vocal
marry perfectly with this swaying rhythm. You can see
clouds lift and dull days brighten as this drifts out
of radios across the country.
Also included on the single set are new and exclusive
tracks. As well as unreleased songs and a Peel Session
version of the Mull title song there is a great great
cover version. On first listen I challenge anyone to
spot the track that Colin has taken on. With a brassy,
swing he adds wonderfully to the R&B sass of Ms Dynamite's
'It Takes More'. With the harpsichord stabs and rumbling
bass line I think we have spotted a new Mull ghetto
style!
Colin and the full live Mull experience can be seen
live in the upcoming months, including support slots
with The Polyphonic Spree and REM.
