Mike Skinner Plans Two Streets Albums

Mike Skinner says the fifth album from The Streets will be his final one.

In a May 25 post on his MySpace blog, Skinner declared that his fourth album, Everything Is Borrowed will be released in "a few months." Work has begun on the fifth and final Streets album, which remains untitled.

"If you like The Streets you are about to experience the peaceful positive vibes that come after a disturbing work such as the last you heard," Skinner wrote. "But the final Streets album (the fifth one) will be dark and futuristic. This could not be further from the album you're about to hear, but it's what is on my mind at the moment.

"Of course, I'm not supposed to tell you about this dark vision of the future because I'm about to promote my peaceful coming to terms album. I'm told the peaceful one is quite good, although I've heard it so many times that it's just noise to me now. But the really exciting thing for me is the dark Berlin-influenced electronic album that'll come next."

While Skinner had to cut his walk across France short last month due to a performance commitment in Austria, he also missed out on the fun of the last day to legally drink alcohol on the London, England subway system. Luckily, Ted Mayhem captured the spirit in another blog post on the Streets MySpace page.
