UFO spotting

An email from Bandcamp just landed in my inbox at lunchtime. Now you don't need me to tell you about Andy Bell but you may be unaware, as I was until the email arrived, that he has just released a new track entitled Apple Green UFO. And it's rather excellent, much of the time sounding like it's arrived here straight from 1989. Imagine a lost Stone Roses track if Ian Brown could sing and, unlikely admittedly, they'd added a brass motif to the chorus. Simple but effective ear-wormy bassline as well.

There are two versions: a four minute-ish edit for the video (below) and an eight minute-ish extended take on Bandcamp (below below).

Good, isn't it?

    1. Er, you're welcome. And to anyone else reading the comments and thinking, "Oh, that looks like a spam comment with a dodgy link" (to be fair, that's what I thought) it actually takes you to an interesting-looking music blog based in Portugal.

  2. Cheers, Martin. I usually get my Andy Bell updates from Swiss Adam, our man on the inside!
    Did you clock his recent take on I'm in Love (With a German Film Star?)
