After releasing two critically albums – ‘The Water’ (2008) and ‘Island’ (2009) – under his own name, ColinMacIntyre marks the tenth anniversary of his debut album ‘Loss’ with the first MullHistoricalSociety album since 2005.
Titled ‘CityAwakenings’, the album is MacIntyre’s first under a new deal with XtraMileRecordings (FrankTurner, I Am The Avalanche) and will be released on February 17th.
Produced by the Grammy-winning DomMorley (AmyWinehouse, MarkRonson, Grinderman), ‘CityAwakenings’ features ten new MacIntyre compositions which offer a tribute to Glasgow, London and NewYork; the three cities which have most influenced the musician as an islander abroad. MacIntyre also co-produced the album closer ‘Thameslink (London'sBurning)’, which he first performed on acoustic guitar at his father’s funeral (his father’s death inspired ‘Loss’).
“Cities have been an explosion of the senses to me,” says MacIntyre. “The songs are breezy pop, some are widescreen things, and some are more minimalist, punchy tales of finding yourself in the city, leaving them, arriving in them, burning them, living in them, and what its like for a child to see one of them for the first time. I remember that. They are mostly upbeat songs about people living their lives."
Auch ein Promotrip ist für Anfang 2012 in Planung, eine Tour folgt im Frühjahr
