The Streets Announces New Album The Darker The Shadow The Brighter The Light for Oct 2023 Release and Shares New Single “Troubled Waters”

Mike Skinner announces the first full-length The Streets album since “Computers and Blues” in 2011. Accompanied by Skinner’s debut Feature Film of the same name, The Darker The Shadow, The Brighter The Light, the album has a set release for October 20th via 679 Recordings/Warner Music UK Ltd . In celebration of the upcoming album, The Streets share a first taste from the record, “Troubled Waters”  and in support of the album Skinner will also embark on a headline UK tour beginning on October 26, concluding at London’s historic Alexandra Palace on November 16.

“It has been seven long years working on this film and album. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do and after dipping my toe in with some shorts and music videos, I felt I was ready,” Skinner explains. “I tried to go the traditional route for a bit, but it’s always served me better to follow my instincts and just get on with it myself, so I’ve directed it, acted in it, edited, sound mixed, funded, produced it all as well as written it. The album doesn’t exist without it. Ultimately it’s all the fruits of a decade on the DJ circuit, watching people in clubs and back rooms, testing out beats and basslines to see what connected – and putting it all together into The Darker The Shadow The Brighter The Light.”
