Belle & Sebastian put out "I'm Waking Up to Us" on Jeepster in November 2001, as a single and an EP, and for the first time they brought in a producer other than their regular partner Tony Doogan: Mike Hurst, once of the Springfields and the man behind records by Petula Clark and Cat Stevens. It comes dressed to the nines, Stuart Murdoch singing over a small orchestra of violins and violas, Isobel Campbell's cello, Andrea Kuypers' flute, Alison Green's bassoon and Chris Geddes' organ.
The writing credit is split seven ways. Violinist Sarah Martin turns up on the sleeve next to a beagle, and all three tracks were later rounded up on Push Barman to Open Old Wounds. Pitchfork ranked it 73rd among the top 100 singles of 2000–04.
