Indie sad sacks Belle & Sebastian donít have a new album, but they are releasing a new EP. The Books EP will be a 5-track enhanced jobber, with ìWrapped Up In Booksî as the lead track, one taken from the bandís excellent 2003 release, Dear Catastrophe Waitress. Also included on the EP will be three b-sides, as well as the video for ìWrapped Up In Books,î a game for the track and a ìYour Coverís Blownî comic strip. The EP will be on shelves June 29 via Rough Trade, but donít go looking for it at Best Buy. Itís an indie store-exclusive for the first six months.

Dear Catastrophe Waitress, indeed.
