about

Scottish Fiction are delighted to unleash 'Freakbeak', the brand new single from Glasgow trio Mitchell Museum. 'Freakbeak' is the first track to be taken from the experimental pop band's third album 'Skinny Tricks' which is due for release on 8th May.

Three years since their last release, album 'Everett Trap', Mitchell Museum find themselves back with renewed purpose, a whole bag of new tracks, fun, and innovative use of conversations with the bands family and friends weaved throughout. Speaking of the album's origins, frontman Cammy Macfarlane explains, “'Skinny Tricks' features my friends and family as cut up, reversed samples from loads of WhatsApp or Facebook videos and the like. I kind of warped a lot of spoken audio to turn everyone into a collective instrument; we've got nephews as synth chords, and mums as percussive loops all over the album. The original idea was to do with the fact that we are all constantly documenting our lives via social media apps and I wanted to somehow emulate that constant chatter throughout the album.”

'Freakbeak' slaloms through its gloriously meticulous arrangement, fusing itself into an art-pop gem that at once bewilders and fascinates. A track teeming with creative vitality, lending itself to repetitive listening; and succeeding in becoming instantly an earworm that amasses greater depth upon each individual encounter.

Backing up 'Freakbeak' is b-side 'Workstation 12', a musique-concrete inspired piece that layers its many elements in a manner not dissimilar to experimental pop pioneers The Flaming Lips. Its percussive motif is reminiscent of industrial machinery, as the track hones in on the drudgery of repetitive working environments. The track is an apt b-side to 'Freakbeak', providing the shade to its sister track’s light – the gloom from which the listener escapes into experimental wonder.

'Freakbeak' will be released digitally on all platforms on 29th February 2020 and on 10” vinyl housed in hand-printed sleeves via Scottish Fiction.
