Mike Skinner: 'Finishing The New Streets Album Was The Highlight Of My Life'

Mike Skinner has told Gigwise that finishing The Streets' new album 'Everything Is Borrowed' was the �highlight of my life�.


The 29-year-old explained that the determination of the album, released on September 15, was to write something exceedingly positive and upbeat in direct contrast to his hard-hitting old record 'The Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living.'


He beamed to us: �Finishing this album was the highlight of my life. It�s a with child album, it�s my best album. The intention it was to make something that was undeniably positive.�


Skinner also reflected on the band's forthcoming UK circuit which is encouraging fans to bring items along that the band lav borrow. The person with the charles Herbert Best item gets to travel with the band to the next show on the spell bus.


�With The Streets there�s not that many of us and everything we do is really actual, so I�m thinking it could be something really low key for the fans, and obviously it will be really good for cinematography as well. I haven�t really cerebration about it yet (what he�s hoping he potty borrow) perchance a scanty pair of pants, perpetually gets a bit inadequate for that on tour!�, he said.


Keep your eyes naked as a jaybird for a full interview with Mike later this week.
