In other news, the group's new single "Seems fine" will be released in four different formats. First, a three-track CD including the video by director Johan Renck, the Wernham Hogg Remix of "Chico" by The Avalanches and a cover of "Just Locals", originally by The Bear Quartet. Next is a two-track CD without the remix. Third is a two-track 7" on red vinyl, again without the remix. And for completists, there will also be a one-sides etched 7" with only the remix. Pretty snazzy, eh?
