Alright bab,
The next single from our new record is out now. Originally by The Boo Radleys and a massive UK hit back in 1995, we’ve taken Wake Up Boo! to Nashville and back, and we’ve even made ourselves an action-packed video.
If you pre-order a copy of our new record, The True Adventures of Independent Country, you get Wake Up Boo! as an immediate download, along with our version of Spritualized‘s Come Together. You can pre-order vinyl, CD, or digital download, and it will be delivered in time for album release on 17th August. Head over to https://independentcountry.bandcamp.com and get yours.
You can also buy/stream the Wake Up Boo! single from all your major digital music retailers, and it comes backed with a remix of our version of New Fast Automatic Daffodils‘ 1990 tune, Big. Here they both are on Spotify.
That there remix is by our friend Andy Porteous, a musician and producer from Birmingham, UK. After singing in the band Destroy Cowboy for most of the 2000s, Andy formed Free School with Steve State in 2009. They signed to the Tirk label in 2011 and released their critically acclaimed LP ‘Tender Administration’. This followed two 12” EP releases and a string of remixes for the likes of Roots Manuva, Phil Oakey and Maps (Mute). Their second album, Dancing On The Dark, was released in 2015, on Static Caravan Recordings. Their cosmic delights won the support of Lauren Laverne, Gilles Peterson & Jacques Renault, and Andy brings all of this and more to his remix of Big – set the controls for the middle of the sun, bab.
Enjoy!
