After moving from the Island of Mull to Glasgow, studying politics, and knocking
about the employment ladder with no discernable game plan or ambition, Colin
MacIntyre released his first album, Loss, under the name Mull Historical
Society. Marrying the experimental instincts and rich instrumentation of the
Beta Band and Flaming Lips with the belting pop sensibility of The Beatles, Loss
was a critical success and top seller. In just a year, Colin and his live band (which can vary from being a 5-piece to a 12-piece) went from supporting The Strokes on their toilet venue debut UK tour to selling-out the 2000 capacity Shepherds Bush Empire and winning the Saint Andrews Day Glenfiddich Spirit of Scotland Award for Creative Talent (previously awarded to Travis amongst others). This set the stage for album number two and Colin - a prolific tunesmith since his childhood - went back to the studio with countless songs to work on. Ninety-five recording days later he emerged with Us, an album laden with Colin's trademark tales, and shimmering melodies that debuted at number 19 on the U.K. After recording his first two albums in Glasgow, Colin compiled his third album, 2005?s This Is Hope, during an intense three-week recording burst in London studio The Strongroom. With the release of This Is Hope in America on the new digital label Wired Set, Colin has decided that from now on he will write, record and perform under his own name, instead of under the pseudonym of Mull Historical Society. Colin is working on his next album, pulling songs together in Glasgow, London and America. The album is expected for release later this year. Official Web Site: www.colinmacintyre.com |
