In spite of, or possibly because of their announcement that theyd never record again, the Scientists now find themselves with a brand new single - their first recording since 1987s Human Jukebox. Yes folks, thats 30 YEARS!
Why, how? Thats a question for some guileless interviewer to broach. But What? A cover of the sixties French Icon Jacques Dutroncs curio Mini Mini Mini.
B/W (if such a thing can exist digitally) is one of their own curios from their 81 transitional period songs re-recorded with as little revision as possible - Perpetual Motion.
This release, which will be available on Bandcamp coincides with the bands first tour of Australia with this line up since they toured with Sonic Youth in 2007 on the Dont Look Back Daydream Nation/Blood Red River Tour.
