A funny little release from a funny huge band

Here's an interesting music industry anomaly. When Scissor Sisters were sowing the seeds for the new album they leaked the track 'Invisible Light' on the internet. Now they're putting it out as a single. Only it's not big balls out "Here's the new single from the Scissor Sisters" style single. That would be confusing because the big balls out "Here's the new single from the Scissor Sisters" style single is 'Any Which Way' (that we talked about just the other day).

No, this single is a 500 copy limited edition transparent yellow vinyl single. It's released on Boys Noize Records. Boys Noize being the same Boys Noize who does fucking amazing remixes. He's done a fucking amazing remix of Invisible Light.

There are also fucking amazing remixes from Stuart Price and Siriusmo. If we were forced to make a choice we'd say our favourite fucking amazing remix is the Siriusmo one.

Scissor Sisters 'Invisible Light' Siriusmo remix:

Don't go anywhere, we haven't finished yet.

Our favourite thing about this release is 'Invisible Light' itself. It is SUCH a good song. It's epic, explosive and esoteric (it's not esoteric of course, we just wanted some nice alliteration). If we're having a bad tube journey we like to put this on and stand in front of the blasts of dirty tube air coming through the windows and pretend we're in front of a wind machine at the "ah-ah-ah" "oh-ooh-ooh-ooh" bits.

We'd have loved this to be a 'proper' Scissors single. But it's not. So we'll settle for this yellow piece of plastic instead. You can BUY IT here and you can MP3 it here.
