Malcolm Middleton is a Scottish guitarist and songwriter best known for his work with Scottish indie band Arab Strap. His solo career includes seven albums, starting with 5:14 Fluoxytine Seagull Alcohol John Nicotine (2002) and ending with Bananas (2018). Blending introspective lyrics, indie rock and pop, his music explores themes of depression and human relationships with a darkly humorous edge.

He also records as Human Don’t Be Angry and Lichen Slow.
Malcolm is currently (still) working on his 8th solo album and will finish it at some point…
