It's been a while since Jesse Budd and his band of merry men called Flipron came and reminded us that there is a musical world beyond the one documented in the daily drone of the mainstream music press.

2006's Biscuits For Cerberus LP did just that with its echoes of gothic cartoon beat poetry, baroque blues, bohemian pop, '60s psychedelia and '20s Hawaiian, and here we have a double A-side single that bounces out of a similar, magically inventive box.

Book of Lies is Ivor Cutler chasing Paul McCartney down a scenic country lane in a high-powered drag racer, with Anselm Hollo singing poems on the stereo, and Sol Hoopii being town along on a winnebago; Mess it Up and extra track The Uses of Superstition the love children that the four would spawn should any children come from the chase. To hell with the modern orthodoxy.
