Several websites are reporting details of the B-sides and artwork to the bands new single ‘Polaris’ out on June 18th. This has yet to be confirmed by the band themselves.

‘Come On Over’ was one of the tracks written during the sessions for the bands upcoming new album, while ‘Chinese New Year’ is a delicate acoustic song written during the ‘Free All Angels’ sessions. The song was played live a few times at acoustic shows in 2000 and 2001, a little snippet also appears on the ‘Burn Baby Burn’ DVD.

The press promo CD comes in a cardboard case with a flashing blue light on the cover. The details are below.
