- New music exclusive: Guillemots – The Basket
Guillemots are back with a new album, a new single and a video that suggests a Scouts camping trip gone wrong
There's something deeply disturbing about forests, especially ones that feature Guillemots dodging in and out of the trees. This is just one of the death-defying stunts they pull off in the video (a Guardian exclusive) for the first single to be taken from their third album, Walk the River. Propelled by a fuzz-guitar riff and singer Fyfe Dangerfield's sprightly harmonies it starts off pretty jolly, but all is not quite as it seems, as Dangerfield explains: "I think in some way it's about a mania within, caused by something external, and the conflict over whether to embrace this thing or just ignore it and crawl away into familiar comforts." The video is a trippy camping trip, all funky funghi, neon-flashing trees and lonely nights in tents. Just like Scout camp all over again.
The Basket is out on 10 April. Walk the River will follow on 18 April.

It's a charity single for Comic Relief, but does that excuse the Auto-Tune in George Michael's New Order cover?
The thing about using Auto-Tune is that it can mask a slight vocal weakness, or add a sudden sense of excitement to a line when used sparingly. It's not entirely clear, therefore, why George Michael – he of the soulful, velvet croon – has decided to smother his cover of New Order's True Faith with lashings of effects (some have wondered if it's all James Blake's fault). Weirdly, it's not been done to enhance a high-octane, lose-your-mind-at-3am belter, but instead a dreary run through a song that now sounds like it's being performed by a depressed dalek. Of course, it's all for a good cause, but is it the worst "non-comedy" charity single of all time? Is it even worse than this?
