The Streets unveil four new tunes online

July 15, 2008

Mike Skinner has posted snippets of four new songs on his MySpace site.
The Brummie via South London MC has uploaded samples of four tunes, each roughly a minute long, for fans to hear.

Each track will appear on Mike’s fourth studio album, currently expected to be titled Everything Is Borrowed.

Having heard the quartet of tunes, Orange can report that Skinner fans should expect a variety of interesting sounds and genres.

The Escapist has an uplifting RnB and gospel feel reminiscent of Never Went To Church, the song Skinner wrote about his recently deceased Dad for third album The Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living.

Ecologically-themed tune, The Way Of The Dodo, includes bizzare percussion and chanting, while The Sherry End has a funky, almost disco feel to it.

Finally, On The Flip Of A Coin is another different direction, more akin to an East European folk ballad.
