_LINDEN: BLEACHED HIGHLIGHTS AED0009
July 30th 2012 will bring the release of our sunniest record. Bleached Highlights is the first batch of new songs from Linden, the nom de plume of Joe McAlinden, late of 90s much loved Creation band Superstar.
AED sleuth James Endeacott discovered Joe in his rural idyll in Argyll, on the glorious west coast of Scotland and tempted him back to the music business with promises of good times at West Heath Studios. Late summer 2011 and the sessions with Edwyn Collins and Sebastian Lewsley were underway. Those of you who caught our earlier release of Brown Bird Singing know what a treat there is in store. This is an elegant record, adorned with the art of Jim Lambie, Turner prize nominated artist and old pal of Joe’s. (They were in The Boy Hairdressers together with Norman Blake.)
We here at AED Records very proudly present Mr Joseph McAlinden, as _LINDEN. This is BLEACHED HIGHLIGHTS:
