Scroobius Pip Camden Crawl 2007

Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip are giving it away for free

Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip are to give away their Christmas single for free.

‘Letter From God (To Man)’, which heavily samples Radiohead’s ‘Planet Telex’ from ‘The Bends’, will be available from the band’s Myspace/lesacvspip from Christmas Eve to New Year’s Eve (December 24–31).

The track appears to be a criticism of religious extremism and environmental destruction.

The lyrics include "religion became a tool for the weak to control the strong" and "I’m writing to apologise for all the horrors committed in my name, although it was never what I intended".

You can watch the new video below.
