Meanwhile, go here for possibly the sunniest, happiest, sweetest video of the year so far:

"It was a very fun song to play by myself already, but then we got to the studio in Wales, near Snowdon, and there it was much more fun even, with the Woo-Woos singing the question part in the chorus and the bongos and everything. I'd dreamed of a horn section for years, and this is the first song of mine I'd ever recorded with one. It really was like getting on the other side of some movie screen, like diving into the sounds I'd heard growing up or something."

I Wish That I Could See You Soon is released on Monday.
