Bill Wells & Aiden Moffat

The Cruel Summer EP by Bill Wells & Aidan Moffat has three tracks: a cover of Bananaramas Cruel Summer; a new, slightly sad yet life-affirming love song named Box It Up; and a seasonal, Halloween-themed, 8-minute erotic short story called Man Of The Cloth.

It will be available digitally from the usual outlets, but the CD version also has an extra track called Lonely Weekend, which features Mr Moffat pottering about the flat, bored out of his mind on his own, listing all the things that make him feel lonely. And a horn section, of course.

They would have loved to make a vinyl version but they soon realised that carting hundreds of 12 singles round Europe in a tour van was sheer folly, and they would most likely be destroyed in transit. Its much easier this way, and they also fit snugly into your pocket on the way home from the gig. It makes sense when you think about it, and nobodys making CD singles anymore, so what better reason to do one now? It is, of course, also be available in your local, cherished record shop also, or you can order it from Chemikal Underground by clicking right here.

And theres a new video for Cruel Summer by Paul Fegan, the man who made The Copper Top film for them earlier this year.
