PRESENT
The Cowboy Mouth have released a new album, Faultlines, which is their first new album in 30 years. Faultlines will be released on the Last Night From Glasgow label and was recorded in Beetroot Studio in Airdrie.
The Cowboy Mouth formed in 1994 by Skinner and MacIntyre, releasing two album in quick succession on the Hamburg-based Marina label. The albums - Life As A Dog (1994) and Love Is Dead (1995) - were well received prior to the group taking a hiatus. Last Night From Glasgow reissued Life As A Dog last year, resulting in some concerts with labelmates The Bathers for which Allan and Hannah joined the group.
The chemistry between the four musicians was immediate, resulting in songs being written and an album being recorded. The songs perhaps highlight their debt to Lou Reed’s Berlin and Coney Island Baby albums, with pre-production rehearsals taking place on a farm in rural South Lanarkshire.
PAST
Grahame Skinner achieved international success as vocalist with Hipsway, whose debut album and attendant hit single (The Honeythief) provided the opportunity to tour the world.
Grahame Skinner and Douglas MacIntyre first met at the latter’s 21st birthday party. At that time Grahame was a member of Jazzateers and recording their album for release on the Rough Trade label. The eponymously titled Jazzateers album received critical kudos and positive reviews in the music press, however the group disbanded soon after the release of the album.
Grahame and Douglas then formed a short lived group - White Savages - who took their name from a James Chance track and were influenced by the New York sound of Television and early Talking Heads. Bass player in White Savages was MacIntyre’s friend Laughlin Allan - both had been in a school group in Strathaven with drummer Douglas Hannah.
It all comes round.
