I know I had seen something recently about a new Mull Historical Society album coming out soon. Metro had it listed a pick this morning, I hadn’t realised it was out so soon. So lunch in Hammersmith to pick it up. This coming weekend I’ll be back out for more music. Modest Mouse and The Hives need picking up but after payday. A quiet week ahead more or less. Big Wednesday night out for Patricks leaving do.

Anyway the new MHS album This is Hope. On first listen it’s not the staggering work of genius which the second album Us was. In places, it touches on it and indeed in some places it sounds just like a continuation of the previous albums. That’s perhaps just a trend within his music. Indeed having just read up the blurb on Amazon, the first song is indeed a continuation of a track from the first album. It has made me go back to the first two albums and they will be my soundtrack to the afternoon. There will have to be a few more listens to this one before I make up my mind.
