The meet and greet is set to take place on Tuesday October 24th at Dublin's Tower Records.
Ahead of his 3Olympia show in October, The Streets frontman, Mike Skinner has announced an in-store signing event at Dublin's Tower Records.
In August, Skinner announced ‘The Darker The Shadow The Brighter The Light’, his self-directed debut feature film. Coinciding with the new film, The Streets will also be returning, with a UK/Ireland tour and a brand new LP — their first in over a decade.
A psychedelic neo-noir, Skinner's debut follows the escapades of a down-on-his-luck DJ — winding through the dingey corners of London's clubland in a tripped out murder mystery.
Skinner has written, directed, shot, edited, scored, funded, and even created his own special effects on the film, shooting at a number of different locations in 2022 across the UK.
The songs on the album soundtrack the film, though both elements of the project can be enjoyed separately. Of the new multimedia project, Skinner said: “The way the album was written was very much with the film in mind."

"The songs weave around the scenes and the dialogue to give a bigger picture of what’s going on - sometimes really acting as the narrator..."
A "classic Streets album," ‘The Darker The Shadow The Brighter The Light’, promises to be a vibrant return to form; blending bass, garage and house, with trademark tongue-in-cheek humour and Skinner's incisive lyrics.
Few spots still available for our @mikeskinnerltd in-store signing event on Tuesday 24th October.
