Mike Skinner‘s lockdown experiences have been jotted down on the new Streets cut Where The F*&K Did April Go?.

“I wrote this last week,” Skinner reveals. “It’s a weird time isn’t it. We were looking forward to the summer just like everyone else, festivals and gigs all there, new music, new stage set – but this has taken the wind from everyone’s sails. And none of us know quite how to cope with it all. I just wrote a tune the same way other people might talk to a therapist.”

It’s a question that gets straight to the point, but it won’t be included on Skinner’s upcoming Streets mixtape None Of Us Are Getting Out Of This Life Alive, which is out in July and has a rap duet concept with contributions from Idles, Hak Baker, Ms. Banks and more. It’ll instead be released as the b-side to Call My Phone Thinking I’m Doing Nothing Better – a track featuring another of the mixtape’s collaborators, Kevin Parker.
