Eight years after Arab Strap went their separate ways, Aidan Moffat is making more music than ever. As he prepares to release the Surface Noise EP, his third collection this year of new material from his alter-ego L. Pierre, he talks to Joe Rivers about the songwriting process, releasing an album that could literally last forever, and how the new Katy Perry single is "brilliant".

It's fairly quiet in the Singles Bar this time, which is probably just as well as Joe's not available to review this week's new releases. But, even though it's an unexceptional line-up, that's not to say that there's nothing of interest on offer.

After last week's shockingly amazing line-up of singles, will this week's selection manage to keep it up? Probably not, but fingers crossed all the same.
