 “In the summer of 2021 I was introduced to the French filmmaker Émilie Deleuze in Paris. She asked me if I would create a soundtrack for a film she intended to make titled ‘Cinq Hectares’. When I asked Emilie what the story of the film was about she replied ‘It’s a comedy and road movie, about a guy driving a tractor across France.’ I love road movies and I had never composed a movie soundtrack before so I immediately said ‘yes.’
 “I recorded the soundtrack in the summer of 2022 in east London with the help of producers James Rand and Thomas Gorton of God Colony and a bunch of great young musicians they introduced me to, one of which was Al White, who now plays saxophone with Primal Scream.
 “Émilie’s film is an absolute cracker and I’m very proud of the soundtrack. Hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we did making it.” - Bobby Gillespie, June 2024
 The LP format is supplied in deluxe ‘tip-on’ style card sleeve and is pressed on blue, white and red striped coloured vinyl with digital download card included.
