The Streets Announce LP Release Date, Fall Tour
Everything Is Borrowed, the fourth album (of five?) from the Streets, is in the can. Skinner's follow-up to 2006's The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living is due September 15 in the UK on 679, according to NME.com and confirmed by the Streets' publicist. (U.S. release details are still forthcoming.)
Of the record's recent completion, Streets main man Mike Skinner wrote in a MySpace blog "WWOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH. THE 2.5 YEAR MARATHON IS OVER!!! ALBUM 4 BABY! EVERYTHING IS BORROWED. REAL BIG UP IN THIS PIECE. AAAAIIIIII." So he's excited.
The video for "The Escapist" (you know, the one filmed on that walk to France) premiered last night on Channel 4 in the UK.
Mike and the Streets have been making their way around the European festival circuit lately, a well-blogged series of events if ever there was one. The next few appearances won't come 'til later next month, and Mike and company will follow the release of Everything Is Borrowed with a sizeable European tour through October and November.
