When I talked to the Cribs for a Progress Report, I mentioned that legendary Scottish songwriter Edwyn Collins had produced their second record. The Cribs’ Ryan Jarman had also said he was writing a couple of songs with Collins, for what would be Collins’s first album of material written since his life-threatening brain hemorrhages in 2005 (2007′s Home Again was nearly all written before). Now two songs they wrote together, along with songs Collins did with Johnny Marr, the Drums, Franz Ferdinand’s Alex Kaprano, and Magic Numbers’ Romeo Stodart, will all be on Collins’s new album, titled Losing Sleep.

Here’s the title track:
