The Charlatans to release new single via The Quietus' record label

Limited to a run of 500, "Talking In Tones" - the lead single from The Charlatans' untitled twelfth LP - will be released by The Quietus Phonographic Corporation.

New rostermates Grumbling Fur will provide a remix for the release titled "Tonal Nargual (Fur Star Liner Aquatic Ape Mix)", and the band's Daniel O'Sullivan and Alexander Tucker have each designed a side of the sleeve for the 7".

The Quietus' Luke Turner has said of the joining of forces: "Back in the 1990s as a teenager, I remember buying Tellin' Stories and Suede's Dog Man Star from Woolworths in Falmouth during a family holiday. Both were massive, influential records for me and I had Charlatans posters on my bedroom wall... they were always the band you went to after realising Oasis had gone shite - they had better tunes, better attitude, better hair. We loved "Talking In Tones" the moment we heard it and are way more than chuffed that Tim, Mark, Tony and Martin have asked us to put it out, especially with the added Furmination on the B-side and artwork."

There will be a launch show at the Highbury Garage 20 October, featuring Grumbling Fur as support.

Listen to "Talking In Tones" below.

Talking In Tones will be released 29 September via The Quietus Phonographic Corporation. You can pre-order here or here.
