Colin MacIntyre is a Scottish singer, song-writer, multi-instrumentalist, producer and (as yet) unpublished author. Previous albums were released under the pseudonym '''Mull Historical Society''', even though it consisted of MacIntyre alone. In 2006, MacIntyre was a special guest on Tom Mcrae 's Hotel Cafe Tour. HISTORY Mull is an island off the west coast of Scotland — the name comes from an actual genealogical society on the island, who have since changed their name to the Mull Historical And Archaeological Society . MacIntyre uses a lot of unusual techniques and instruments. For example, he is credited to have played 'Seagulls' and 'Fire Extinguisher' for the song "Gravity", and played 'Beer Kegs' on the song "Death of a Scientist", which was written about the late Dr David Kelly . He also frequently samples the sounds of the world around him into his songs. For example, a Public Announcement from the Glasgow Subway in "Public Service Announcer" and the end of "Final Arrears" features part of the Shipping Forecast . A staple of MacIntyre's tours and album art — which is itself usually very diverse, featuring everything from arty shots to plain landscapes and usually has Microsoft Paint drawings by Colin himself — is 'The Giant Dog With The Wig', an oversize model of a dog with a large comedy blue wig on. The dog has become such a symbol of his music that in the video for "How 'Bout I Love You More", the 'spaceship' is the dog itself. Late 2007 should see the release of the 4th studio album, to be titled, The Water. This album will see MacIntyre break with tradition and work with a producer for the first time ('' Loss '', '' Us '' and '' This Is Hope '' were self produced). He will also be dropping the name of Mull Historical Society and releasing the album under his own name. The new album will be produced by Colin and Nick Franglen from the group Lemon Jelly .
