[edit] Overview

In 2005, Malcolm recorded and released the critically acclaimed album Into The Woods. The album featured guest appearances from Stuart Braithwaite and Barry Burns (of Mogwai), members of The Delgados, The Reindeer Section and Aidan Moffat. Malcolm has commented on the album, saying

“

Things all came to a head for me in 2001 when Arab Strap finished touring The Red Thread album. My life fell apart for the better and I didn't leave the house for six months. I wrote songs for comfort and to wallow in for a while.[1]
