Following the announcement that Domino Records are set to re-release all his solo albums on CD and vinyl, Robert Wyatt will release a new single, This Summer Night, a collaboration with French producer and composer Bertrand Burgalat.

This Summer Night has Robert Wyatt’s beautifully warm and original, at times wonderfully frail, vocal delivery and is a worthy addition to a list of past collaborations Wyatt has worked on.

The single comes with a great remix which immerses the late evening, sun setting easy listening pop of the single with the analogue bleeps and squeaks of a Hot Chip accompaniment.  I am loving the remix and listening to the new single reminded me of Robert Wyatt’s amazing performance on The Old Grey Whistle Test performing Shipbuilding in 1982.

This Summer Night is due for release on 20th October.
