I don’t know how I have managed to miss this band completely, but The Guillemots are releasing a new single this week called ‘Annie, Lets Not Wait’ and I love this funky upbeat track.

Written by Fyfe Dangefield and co-produced with Adam Noble, ‘Annie, Lets Not Wait’ is the fourth track to be taken from the debut album and follows the hit singles ‘Trains to Brazil’, ‘We’re Here’ and ‘Made-Up Lovesong #43′.

The video to accompany the single is beautifully animated and apparently aims to recreate the visual feeling of one of the first feature length animated films ever, Die Abenteuer des Prinzen Achmed.

The single has been released on two cds and also on seven inch vinyl. CD1 features a bonus strings-only version of ‘We’re Here’, while CD2 features the demo track ‘Photograph’, the Live Lounge recording of Franz Ferdinand’s ‘Take Me Out’ and the accompanying video. The 7″ vinyl includes the B-side ‘In Your Arms’.

I have only listened to this song a few times now and already I can’t get it out of my head. If all the Guillemots songs are as catchy as this I am definitely going to buy the album!
