Single of the Week...

Firstly, a quick word for the England cricket selectors..... "Beg Marcus Trescothick to return"...

Secondly, this week's single of the week is...

Zak Sally 'Why We Hide'

Loving this single. Zak describes it best himself when he says it is the sound of "one man clanging". It is also noisy, discordant, ramshakle but also strangely tuneful and catchy. It has some nice hand-claps midway through, which remind me of Zak's attempts to encourage audience participation when Low played 'La La La Song'. It is what you'd expect really, three minutes of U.S alt.rock noise. You get the impression from this that Zak had a lot to do with Low's 'The Great Destroyer'.

It is out now on pink vinyl from Subpop, you get a download voucher with the vinyl (or at least, I did).

The album is due out round about now on Zak's own label, although as yet there is no link to buy it on his website.
