Check Out Micko & The Mellotronics ‘Psychedelic Shirt’

---

Micko & The Mellotronics are set to release their debut album at the end of the month called ‘½ DOVE – ½ PIGEON’, but before that they want to show you their ‘Psychedelic Shirt’ in their new single.

The new song, with accompanying animated video tells a “true coming-of-age tale that unfolds like an episode of The Inbetweeners set in the 1980s”.

Frontman Micko Westmoreland tells us “Psychedelic Shirt tells the story of venturing to an out of hours school disco in a disheveled scout hut in Leeds. Where Top Man flick heads had seized upon my newly procured paisley shirt and sought about destroying it. I’d taken it off because I was too hot, left it on a peg in the boy’s loos. Later, I found the article, ‘mopped up in the fluid, screwed up in a ball’ on the lino floor as the song’s lyrics state. I was forced to make a choice between victimhood or empowerment but left contemplating shades somewhere in between…”

Have a watch of it here:

Talking about the upcoming album, Miko says “I titled the record ½ dove – ½ pigeon because I thought it was an honest reflection on how most people see themselves…”

Micko & The Mellotronics release ‘½ dove – ½ pigeon’ on 27 November 2020, via Landline Records.
