The first single from Beautiful Future will be Can't Go Back on 14 July. The album also features CSS's Lovefoxxx and QOTSA's Josh Homme.

Meanwhile Freebass, the three-bass band that features Primal Scream's Mani, New Order's Peter Hook and The Smith's Andy Rourke, plan to release their debut album next March. "It's going to be out next March or I am going to fucking top myself," Hook told Billboard.

"I'm sick of talking about it," he continued. "I just want to give someone some music." One of the vocalist on the album is Gary Briggs, former singer with Manchester-based band Haven, but Liam Gallagher (Oasis), Ian Brown (the Stone Roses), Tim Burgess (the Charlatans), Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins) and Bobby Gillespie (Primal Scream) have all been previously mooted by Hook as additional guest vocalists.
