Aphelion comes from the sessions for the Scottish duo's seventh album, 'As Days Get Dark', and leads a new 7", backed with Flutter, due out through Rock Action on March 4.
Commenting on the track, which delivers miserabilism similar to that served up on the record, Aidan Moffat said:
"These two songs were written, recorded and mixed during the sessions for 'As Days Get Dark' but as much as we loved them, we couldn’t find a place for them on the final album. Maybe it’s because they seem to have their own distinct identities, but sometimes a song just sounds better on its own, when it’s not part of a crowd and vying for attention. So, to celebrate the anniversary of the album's release, we present 'As Days Get Dark''s two runaway loners; a couple of black sheep who might not click with the rest of the family but, even though they aren't very happy, are still worth a cuddle."
The duo's seventh record, and their first in 16 years, arrived in March 2021. They have a short run of Irish shows in the diary for July.
