The Courteeners have unveiled the second part of their collaboration with author Emma Jane Unsworth.

The ‘Better’ project was started back in October; three Courteeners videos in total will be brought together on a short film based on a story written by Unsworth especially for the band, which itself is being serialised in three parts online. Better Man is the latest instalment with the band’s new album More. Again. Forever due on January 17th 2020.

“Honoured and privileged to work with @emjaneunsworth on this,” Liam Fray wrote on social media. “As many of you know, I’m a massive fan of acclaimed author Emma Jane Unsworth’s work so I’m especially excited to announce that when we asked Emma to write something specifically for the band, she said ‘yes’!”

“The short story she delivered – titled Better – has been made into a short film that comprises of three Courteeners music videos. The three separate parts of the story will be also available to read online to coincide with their corresponding video.”
