Nude Records, founded by Scotsman Saul Galpern in 1991, is a renowned music label based in northwest London. With the successful launch of Suede's debut album in 1993, Nude Records quickly gained recognition and went on to sign talented artists such as Sharkboy, Goya Dress, Geneva, and Billy MacKenzie. Despite facing challenges that led to voluntary liquidation near its 10th anniversary, the label's legacy continued through Sony Music and One Little Indian. In 2016, Nude Records was re-launched and remains an active force in the music industry.

Throughout its history, Nude Records has been instrumental in discovering and nurturing exceptional talent. The label's early success with Suede paved the way for other notable signings who have left their mark on the industry. Artists like *Ultrasound*, *Mainstream*, and *Black Box Recorder* have contributed to the diverse roster of Nude Records.

While faced with difficulties along the way, including changes in ownership and restructuring, Nude Records has proven its resilience by adapting to new circumstances. The label continues to support emerging artists while also celebrating its rich history with iconic acts like Suede. As it enters a new era of creativity and innovation under its re-launch in 2016, Nude Records remains committed to delivering outstanding music experiences for fans worldwide.

His first album for seven years and the sixth solo album from the ex-Arab Strap man, is released on the relaunched Nude Records. In Malcolm's songs hope and optimism have always existed (they were just well hidden) and 'catchy' has always been his prime prerogative, but with the new album glimmering with heady production, this clearly shines through. Calling upon the expertise of Glasgow-based dance producer Miaoux Miaoux, the album also features guest appearances by Beta Band / The Aliens founder Gordon Anderson aka Lone Pigeon (also creator of the album's artwork, technicolour photography and who became a 'soundboard' for Malcolm after he moved into the cottage next door). De Rosa's Martin John Henry and First Aid Kit's Scott Simpson also add to the albums sonic swirl and sense of fun. A wonky tonk fun-land of squelching synths and sweeping strings, 'Steps' is a cosmic space ride through pitch bends and vocal manipulation whilst 'Information In The Voice' unexpectedly drops pop RnB hip hop. But it's never without feeling; take the romantic 'You and I' or shimmering and rhapsodic 'Big Black Hole' with its twinkling piano hook. Put together, there's a neon glow of 80s new wave, alongside smoggier shades of the Chromatics or Johnny Jewel's Glass Candy. Malcolm has always enjoyed challenging his listeners and this time around is no exception.
