Created On: Friday, 25 January 2008 Hits: 25  Madonna The largely acoustic record, titled ‘Sleight of Heart’, features three cover versions –Madonna’s ‘Stay’, King Creosote’s ‘Marguerita Red’ and Jackson C Frank’s ‘’Just Like Anything’ – plus six original Middleton compositions. The plaintive release features a number of guest collaborators including Mogwai’s Barry Burns, ex Delgados man Paul Savage on drums. Speaking of the record, Middleton said: “I suppose this album is a reaction to the production of (previous record) ‘A Brighter Beat’, which I love, but I felt it was time for something quieter. The record as always is full of astute lyrics and observations, most notable ‘Blue Plastic Bags’ which is a comment on British drinking culture. Middleton notes: “As a nation we're all drinking too much. Not the binge drinking of the ‘90s but the sneaky innocent couple every night. If the fridge is empty at 9:30pm, you start sweating and run out to buy some for ‘just in case’.” ‘Sleight of Heart’ is released through Full Time Hobby Records on March 3.
