Pressing Specifications
Who Is Michael M?
Michael M is a Scottish musician best known as the frontman of Slime City, and previously as a member of We Are The Physics, a band known for their own brand of manic, brainy indie rock. Building a reputation for sharp, darkly comic songwriting and an equally distinctive online presence, Michael M has carved out a niche turning his own social media output into fully realised songs, blurring the line between meme culture and traditional songwriting craft.
About This Album
Across fifteen tracks with titles including You Will Never Log Off, Iggy Pop Has Got No Top and I Forced My Dad To Dig His Own Grave But He Found Treasure, Now That's What I Call Disappointment compresses Michael M's acerbic, absurdist observations into fast, frantic lo-fi garage pop songs, rarely lingering on any single idea for long across its brisk 28 minute runtime. The album channels a lineage of witty, hook-driven indie pop songwriting stretching from Weezer through They Might Be Giants to more recent acts like Mike Krol and Art Brut, wrapping genuinely funny, occasionally poignant lyrical content in deceptively simple, catchy melodies. The eco-colour vinyl edition randomly assigns each copy its own unique colour combination, made from recycled vinyl material.
