The Waterboys have released two brand new videos for key album tracks ahead of their forthcoming new double album Out Of All This Blue, set for release September 8 via BMG.
If The Answer Is Yeah is followed by Payo Payo Chin ("Good Morning Darling" in Japanese), which is the current single. When watched together, Payo Payo Chin and If The Answer Is Yeah trace the story of the leading man (played by Clive Russell) meeting and pursuing the woman of his dreams. You can watch both videos below.

The Waterboys - If The Answer Is Yeah

Produced by Mike Scott and recorded in Dublin and Tokyo, Out Of All This Blue will be available on digital, double CD, and double LP formats, plus deluxe triple CD and LP packages, which include bonus tracks. CLICK HERE to pre-order.

Out Of All This Blue is The Waterboys' most exploratory recording yet, comprising 23 songs with Mike Scott's trademark sharp lyrics set to pop music with echoes of classic R&B, country, soul and funk, underpinned by modern hip-hop production values and rhythms. String & brass sections were arranged and conducted by Trey Pollard of The Spacebomb Collective.

Of the record, Mike Scott explains: "Out Of All This Blue is 2/3 love and romance, and 1/3 stories and observations. I knew from the beginning I wanted to make a double album, and lucky for me - and I hope the listener - the songs just kept coming, and in pop colors."
