With their first new album in 16 years on the horizon, The Durutti Column are getting a lot of deserved attention this summer. A new single called "Scammer" is out this week and it's absolutely lovely. That this features not only Vini Reilly's guitar but his vocals is more reason to pay attention to this track.
"Scammer" shimmers across the consciousness, a half-tune from a dream. There's something quietly lush here, and it's the perfect piece of music for a hazy summer day. Lose yourself in this and get ready for the new Durutti Column album in a few weeks.
"Scammer" by The Durutti Column is out now. Renascent is out on 31 July. Details here.
