Hot Chip remixed Robert Wyatt a couple months ago. Now the two camps have teamed up, along with UK electro duo Geese, to release a four-song EP (12/22 via Parlophone) that includes Wyatt and Geese reworking Made In The Dark tracks. You can currently download “Made In The Dark” featuring Wyatt if you hand over some information at Hot Chip. There’ll be a second free MP3, “We’re Looking For A Log Of Love,” going up 12/19.

It’s been a year since Robert Wyatt teamed up with Monica Vasconcelos to let us know he was going to love you “Just As You Are.” Good thing the feeling’s mutual, because Wyatt reprises his role as Santa Claus in triplicate (and then some) in the tripped out Daniel Klein-directed video for “This Summer Night,” a collaboration with French multi-instrumentalist/composer/producer Bertrand Burgalat. The track’s from Burgalat’s album Chéri B.B., but it’s Wyatt who’s often front and center.

Legendary psychedelic Soft Machine drumming vocalist and longtime solo artist Robert Wyatt is back this month with Comicopera, his first collection of new, woozy, ambitious studio material since 2003′s excellent Cuckooland (remember the cover of “Insensatez”?). As the “opera” in Comicopera might suggest, there’s something grand going on across its 16 tracks — the album’s divided into three Acts: “Lost In Noise,” “The Here And The Now,” and “Away With The Fairies.” Today we have “Just As You Are” for ya, the second song in Act I. It’s a lovely duet between Wyatt and Brazilian singer/songwriter Monica Vasconcelos with Paul Weller on guitar.
