Made For Each Other

 

I'm quite surprised that I haven't featured Paisley band The Muldoons before.

I'm turning to Five Rise Records for some blurb on their 2020 album  Made For Each Other on the Last Night From Glasgow label:

The long awaited debut album from Paisley’s Muldoons is a glorious jangly guitar lovers dream.

The music will excite lovers of Lou Reed, Lloyd Cole, Lawrence and of course, the sound of Johnny Marr’s guitar.

The Muldoons are inspired by bands like the Brilliant Corners, The Bodines, June Brides and all the great indie outfits who might have graced John Peels evening shows.

Recorded at Studio 1790 in Cumbernauld and mastered by Colin McGeoch at La Chunky Studios in Glasgow, Made For Each Other pays homage to the alternative music of yesteryear and is a memoire of “growing up, getting drunk and falling in and out of love every week” in the band’s hometown of Paisley featuring anthemic three-chord post-punk accompanied by brass and string compositions.

Originally formed in the early 90s, The Muldoons are a 5-piece outfit comprising of childhood friends who bonded over an enthusiasm for three chord post-punk and alternative music whilst growing up i their native Paisley, Scotland. The Muldoons reformed in 2018 for a supposed one-off hometown show.

Energised by the success of the sold out show, The Muldoons embarked on a recording project which has yielded their debut album.

There that saved me a bit of time and effort. I gave it a spin for the first time in ages earlier in the week and thoroughly enjoyed it, particularly the trumpet bits. I suspect that Brian will concur!

The good news is that they have a follow up album We Saw the View scheduled for release by LNFG on 29th November this year - not long now!
