Blast away the grey skies with this infectious jam from Peter Gordon’s Love of Life Orchestra. Featuring celebrated collaborators Arto Lindsay and David Byrne, today’s SOTD is the opener and title track to Gordon’s 1981 EP.

The Extended Niceties EP famously includes the much lauded tracks ‘Beginning of The Heartache’ and ‘Don’t Don’t’ (big favourites with DFA) but there’s no reason for you to skip through this weirdly fun slice of avant-garde No Wave disco. With plenty of crazy sax to keep you amused and a fantastic boogie-woogie bass line, it will get you grooving and moving throughout the week. Maybe through to the weekend too.
