Jane Weaver has announced that she’ll release her track The Lightning Back on limited edition 7-inch vinyl later this year.

The song originally appeared on Weaver’s Modern Kosmology album, but she’ll launch it on vinyl on April 6 – and it’ll be backed by a remix of the song by London-based art-noise, jazz-rock group, Sex Swing.

The Lightning Back 7-inch vinyl is now available for pre-order from the Fire Records webstore.

The vinyl is being launched to mark the announcement that Weaver will be on tour supporting Belle And Sebastian and Public Service Broadcasting over the coming months.

Weaver also has several festival appearances scheduled this year.
