Franz Ferdinand, Snow Patrol, The Kooks and Four Tet are amongst the artists contributing to a collection of children's songs curated by Belle and Sebastian, to raise funds for children's charity, Save the Children. 'Colours are Brighter' will be released on Rough Trade on October 16th, with all profits and artist royalties from the record being donated to the charity.
A while in the making, but well worth the wait, the album contains twelve tracks, the vast majority of which have been specially recorded for the project over the past two years.
The full track listing hides a number of stories…
1. Four Tet featuring Princess Watermelon - Go Go Ninja Dinosaur
2. Rasputina - A Skeleton Bang
3. Franz Ferdinand - Jackie Jackson
4. Snow Patrol - I am an Astronaut
5. The Divine Comedy - Three Cheers For Pooh, Cottleston Pie, Piglet Ho
6. The Kooks - The King & I
7. Half Man Half Biscuit - David Wainwright's Feet
8. The Barcelona Pavilion - Tidy Up Tidy Up
9. Jonathan Richman - Our Dog is Getting Older Now
10. Ivor Cutler Trio - Mud
11. Belle and Sebastian - The Monkeys are Breaking Out the Zoo
12. Kathryn Williams - Night Baking
Snow Patrol's track is a cover version of a much sought after 7" recorded in 1972 by the then 11 year old Ricky Wilde, brother of Kim, son of Marti, who is also the author of the song. The Ivor Cutler track was produced by George Martin and featured on the Apple-released album, 'Ludo'. Permission for it's use on 'The Colours Are Brighter' was given by Cutler's son, Jonathan. Neil Hannon of the Divine Comedy performed a medley of three pieces from the pen of A.A.Milne for the release, whilst Jonathan Richman flouted medical advice to record his track…he had been ordered to give his voice full rest after a problem with his vocal chords had been diagnosed, but ventured on for the cause.
'Colours are Brighter' is released by Rough Trade on 16th October.
Four Tet's 'Go Go Ninja Dinosaur' will be available as a free download from Colours Are Brighter's website. More information about the project, the artists involved, and Save The Children can be found at:-
