For Petheads, the big news is a new album out in March. Lots of obsessive questions here. My fave:
Q: We´re talking about an electronic piece of music? or synthpop, just pure ‘pop’, or something different?
A: It’s dark, slightly blippy pitchbendy electronic pop with synths in it. No donks have been put on this record.
I wouldn’t normally do this kind of thing, actually. But a new Pet Shop Boys album always rocks my donk. This one is a collaboration with Xenomania, with help from Tchaikovsky and Johnny Marr. Neil and Chris offer the following description of the first single:
"a post-lifestyle anthem which sounds like nothing we’ve done before."
We’re all so post-lifestyle now, aren’t we?
