The Sleepy Jackson are to release a new single next month. 'God Lead Your Soul' will be available from July 10, on two seven-inches and CD, through Virgin.

The single precedes the band's brand-new long-player, Personality, due out on July 24. And - who'd have ever guessed? - the band will be in Blighty between the two releases for something the kids are currently calling 'a tour'. Whoa, kids, your lingo is loco...

In totally unrelated news, I'm really sleepy... having through-the-night World Cup highlights on BBCi is bad for one's health.
