Marc Valentine returns with a brand new single \u2018You Are The Jet\u2019 – an infectious 3-minute powerpop buzz, out Friday 5th December on Wicked Cool Records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018You Are The Jet\u2019 is Marc\u2019s first release since 2024\u2019s critically acclaimed album\u00a0Basement Sparks<\/em>, which was also on Wicked Cool, the label founded by Bruce Springsteen guitarist Miami Steve Van Zandt, aka Little Steven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018You Are The Jet\u2019 is a rip-roaring gem, giving a nod to Big Star and The Pixies – fuzz guitars, harmonies and what might be the biggest hook of the year. The song was produced once again by Dave Draper (Michael Monroe, Wildhearts, Professionals). Marc\u2019s band is Richard Davies (guitar), Richie Poynton (bass),  Neil Scully (keyboards) and Rik Pratt (drums).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe chorus for \u2018You Are The Jet\u2019 came to me whilst staring at the back of a static bin lorry in a traffic jam,\u201d Marc explains. \u201cA week later we\u2019d recorded the whole track, and it was ready to go.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018You Are The Jet\u2019 and B-side \u201810th Street Incidentally\u2019 are released on limited edition 7\u201d vinyl and all streaming platforms on Friday, 5th<\/sup>\u00a0Dec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
