It’s been a hot second since Mike Skinner broke our hearts and disbanded his The Streets project back in 2011, but now he’s (kind of) brought it back.
He’s released a brand new song onto his SoundCloud page – intriguingly titled “the darker the shadow, the brighter the light – it’ll always be it” – and although it’s not technically a new tune from The Streets, it is a return to his tales of everymanism on the microphone.
Obviously Mike Skinner hasn’t kept totally quiet musically since those long 5 years ago. Watch his recent video from his Tonga Balloon Gang project, “CCTV”, right here.
