US

The follow-up to Mull Historical SocietyAEs break-through debut album Loss was the bandAEs acclaimed second album, Us. Upon release, Us landed in the UK Top 20 and included follow-up song to Barcode Bypass, called The Supermarket Strikes Back, and the immense The Final Arrears #19 single, dubbed aeexactly 3 minutes of pop perfectionAE by Mark Radcliffe. Once again MacIntyre also took on production duties. o When Colin MacIntyreAEs debut Mull Historical Society single aeBarcode BypassAE (Rough Trade) was named NMEAEs Debut Single of the Year in 2000, and then received its first daytime airplay (all 7 minutes of it) on Radio 1 on Jo WhileyAEs show, it was clear a truly original song-writing talent had emerged as if fully formed u and from the unlikely Atlantic outpost of the isle of Mull, in the Scottish Hebrides (population of 2,500 people, 28,234 sheep). o Named after a genuine society, dedicated to the preservation of tradition on the bands home island, Mull sit somewhere in the valley between the Flaming Lips, Super Furry Animals and Beta Band. o Reissued for the first time since its original release, Us has been remastered by Phil Kinrade at Alchemy Mastering and is presented here as a 2LP, gatefold sleeve to match the original.'
