I always assume it's Chris Geddes behind all these experiments.

The last single had a cool DVD edition, basically exactly the same as the 4 track CD single with videos for two tracks (cunning to hide the vid at the end of the third track (that's actually two tracks in one, yeah?))
The last single reawakened my appr. for B&S after downloading a few storyteller tracks and going oh forget it.
So, If the single is as great as all that, I shall buy the album. At fopp. if.

and I said "That has to be "in the country", surely...

Also, I have never heard 'In The Country'. What is it really like?
I think I must still like Belle & Sebastian.

Pf it's the one that goes "you're going to find me, out in the country" and going on about it's where the weather's fine etc

Are you people saying that B&S are releasing a new song, as a new single?
The other day, on the Ross show, they talked about Ken Bruce. Did you hear it?

PF, you probably know it as an old DFS furniture superstore advert from the 1970s. Their shops were so big they had to locate them 'out in the country'.
Let me see if I can find the lyrics. It's a good song by Cliff standards, or indeed any standards. Maybe it's time for a Cliff revival:------------------------------------In The Country
When the world in which you're livingGets a bit too much to bearAnd you need someone to lean onWhen you look there's no one there
You're gonna find me out in the country, yeahYou're gonna find me way out in the countryWhere the air is good, and the day is fineAnd a pretty girl has her hand in mineAnd the silver stream is the poor man's wineIn the country, in the country
If you're walkin' in the cityAnd you're feelin' rather smallAnd the people on the sidewalkSeem to form a solid wall
You're gonna find me, hey, out in the countryYou're gonna find me, hey, out in the countryWhere the air is good and the day is fineAnd a pretty girl has her hand in mineAnd the silver stream is the poor man's wineIn the country, in the country
Hurry, hurry, hurryFor time is slipping by, you don't need a ticketIt belongs to you and I, come on and join me, heyOut in the country
Where the air is good, and the day is fineAnd the pretty girl has her hand in mineAnd the silver stream is the poor man's wineIn the country, in the country------------------------------It's a bit like The Housemartins. And a bit like Blur. The Farmers Boys did a cover version.

I still like Belle And Sebastian a lot, despite liking fewer and fewer of their recent songs. I think I quite like 'Your Cover's Blown'. Luckily it is nothing like the nme's "Indie Bohemian Rhapsody" remark.

i'm way more familiar with the farmers boys version, doubt i've heard cliff's more than twice.
amazon.de to the rescue

It's a fabulous lost track, save that it's not wholly lost.
I am listening to what may be ... THE BLACK SESSIONS, on tape? The track now is 'London Has Let Me Down, Again'. Something that we forget, maybe, is how many tracks - extras like this - that they have done, in all.
Like 'Nothing In The Silence'!

I didn't buy the new single, even with a B-Side I haven't heard, and that says a lot. 'Nothing In The Silence', on the other hand, is a beautiful, beautiful song and would have sat nicely on the new album in place of so many others I could mention.
