A new Pipettes tune for a Friday

According to its YouTubular title this is an 'official viral' for the a new (and freely down­load­able) Pipettes song. Looks like a budget-free, rope-your-mates-in job to us but if calling it a viral helps things at all than so be it. The Martin Rushent-produced song, 'Our Love Was Saved By Spacemen', promises some inter­est­ing sounds from the duo's new album (which is mastered and ready to go, according to their Twitter), but those spring-2008 hopes of a massive major label push seem rather distant now. Not to worry. For the time being let's just enjoy this tune about what happens when your boyfriend's brain is wiped by aliens: he gets to fall in love with you all over again.
