New Music: The Streets: "The Escapist" [Video/MP3]
Pitchfork Media - Today —
In May, Pitchfork news reported that a track by Mike Skinner called "The Escapist" had been made for a film and didn't make the cut, and would feature on a forthcoming album by the Streets (we now know the album is called Everything Is Borrowed). We also reported that the video for the track featured Skinner walking across France. Well, the Ted Mayhem-directed video is here, and we do indeed see Skinner taking a leisurely stroll across all of creation-- often barefoot!-- only to wind up on a sand dune overlooking the sea with is mate. You can get the track here for the price of an ...

New Streets - "The Escapist"
Stereogum —
New Streets - "The Escapist" thumbnail icon: New Streets - "The Escapist" Mike Skinner dropped his new album preview on MySpace earlier this month, and it contained some promising bits including some of this, "The Escapist." Like One Day As A Lion, turns out the new track is a warning delivered and a promise kept : Mike flows along to some backing choir choruses, and true to track and artist title, Skinner steals away from the city scene via lots and lots of winding pathways paved with tar and cement that cars and trucks use, otherwise known as, yep you guessed it: roads. Man this new The Roads song is the ...

Idolator: Music News, Reviews, And Gossip —
This video for the Streets' new single, "The Escapist," was, according to uploader "The Beats" (a.k.a. Mike Skinner a.k.a. the Streets himself), made "under the radar of the label and done totally for us by us on a shoe string. It was totally different from any other promo that I've made in that it was something real that we just filmed rather than trying to create something real looking using lots of people and lots of angles." Its art-house feel works well with the song, which after three plays I still haven't decided whether I like or not. Then again, I hated both of the first two ...
The Streets Walks It Out In ‘The Escapist’
Complex Blog —
Music The Streets Walks It Out In ‘The Escapist’ thestreets.jpg If you don’t know by now, The Streets (a.k.a. Mike Skinner ) is the type of musician who likes to take the road less traveled. The Brit’s off-beat observational style of rapping, blended with his own brew of hip-hop meets electro production, has made for three solid albums that were unlike any other. But after an album full of Skinner’s struggles with fame, he’s taking a decidedly different approach on his fourth release, Everything Is Borrowed —his goal was to make an album where he doesn’t make any references to “modern life,” which has always been his focus. The ...

The Streets - The Escapist
I remember when The Streets (aka Mike Skinner) was just blowing up when I lived in London and I always thought the dude’s half-rap/half talk thing was kinda odd. To be quite honest, he is really hit or miss for me. However, the dude has made some solid tracks during his career and this one, entitled “The Escapist” is definitely one of the more solid ones. The video is supposedly shot “under the radar” without approval of his label, but the stellar production quality leads me to doubt that. ...
