Via NME: Jarvis Cocker, Cerys Matthews and Belle & Sebastian's Stuart Murdoch all feature on a new compilation of children's songs. 'Songs For The Young At Heart', released on February 26, was put together by members of Tindersticks. It was inspired by "memories from their childhood of music from the radio, school room and television". The collection first comes in a limited edition run packaged in a hard paged children's book featuring the tale of 'Albert The Lion' with illustrations by cult artist Sexton Ming. A video of Jarvis Cocker telling the story of 'Albert The Lion' - where Cocker sits in an actual lion's cage with the lion - will also be available.
