The Streets return with Everything is Borrowed
By: Dan Monsell
Mike Skinner and co will return next month with his first album since 2006's The Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living. The Streets' fourth album Everything is Borrowed will be released on September 15th, and promises to be a "reminder of why we all fell in love with the Streets in the first place". It's also been described as an amalgamation of all the things that were good about the previous three records, so the bar's clearly been set pretty high for our expectations.
There will also be a single release of the album's title track on September 30th, and for all you freeloaders out there in blogoshere, there's also a free download of 'The Escapist' - a track from the forthcoming album - available from July 30th via www.myfreedownload.co.uk/thestreets.
We also recommend you have a look at the video for The Escapist made by Skinner's Beat Stevie cohort Ted Mayhem right here. Pretty different to anything The Streets have done before, it features Skinner walking across France. He just loves those Streets.
