Pre-order vinyl:

20th anniversary vinyl reissue of Malcolm Middleton’s sophomore album ‘Into The Woods’. The vinyl has been out of print since 2005 and is now reissued on white vinyl.

Into The Woods is a slightly cynical yet never discouraging tour-de-force of pop; an undeniably strong record brought into being with a rare eye for detail and Malcolm’s careful arrangement.

Featuring notable appearances from members of Mogwai (Stuart Braithwaite and Barry Burns), Delgados (Paul Savage) and fellow Arab Strap bandmate Aidan Moffat, the album received critical acclaim across the board upon its release in 2005.
