British pop superstars Pet Shop Boys have earlier this evening revealed the details of their forthcoming album ‘Electric’, including the cover image (above) and the tracklisting (below).There’s also news about the first single from the album, along with this rather fetching visual taster (also below) and a release date for Australia!
So let’s begin…
‘Electric’ is the follow-up album to last year’s ‘Elysium’ and brings together nine new Pet Shop Boys future anthems, including a collaboration with Example and a cover version of Bruce Springsteen’s ‘The Last To Die’. It’s produced by none other than Stuart Price.
“Electric’ is very much set on the dance floor,” the PSBs said in a statement. “Our latest album often evolves as a response to our previous album and, whereas ‘Elysium’ had a reflective mood, ‘Electric’ is pretty banging! And working with Stuart Price on a studio album is something we have wanted to do for a very long time.”
Recorded between Berlin, London and Los Angeles, the new album is preceded by the single ‘Axis’, which is available digitally in Australia now via iTunes. A video for the track (below) premiered online less then an hour ago.
Pre-orders for ‘Electric’ are available tomorrow. The album will be released in Australia on Friday July 12.
