[edit] Overview

In 2005, Malcolm recorded and released the critically acclaimed album Into The Woods. The album was originally going to be called The Great Bear.[1] 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] ”
