We’ve had our eye on the impending collaboration between White Fence‘s Tim Presley and Welsh songstress Cate Le Bon for some time. After introducing us to their band DRINKS by way of a dog-filled, VHS-quality “LP Commercial,” this week the pair shared the title track from their upcoming record Hermits on Holiday, which comes out August 21 on Presley’s own Birth Records. Cate’s unmistakable voice takes lead on the quirky, lighthearted tune, singing the details of a strange sort of schedule. “Quarter-t0-five: feeding time / Seven-t0-three: check on me.”

A peculiar press release detailing the new project stated the following: “They both like to drink, coffee mostly and sometimes each other. And once the drinks are drunk out it comes. The mud slicks and the plates click. DRINKS is a solo project, not a collaboration. It has one mouth, one set of lungs, one mind and four legs.”
