Pet Shop Boys - Axis (Boys Noize Remix)
|
Pet Shop Boys
return in triumphant form with their new studio album 'Electric', the
first to appear on their own label x2 (via Kobalt Label Services). The album is the first Pet Shop Boys studio album to be produced by Stuart Price.
'Electric'
features nine tracks in total - eight brand new Pet Shop Boys' songs
plus a cover of Bruce Springsteen's 'The Last To Die'. The result is as
uncompromising a collection of dance anthems as Pet Shop Boys have ever
made.
Pet
Shop Boys said: "'Electric' is very much set on the dance floor. 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".
Stuart
Price said: "Making 'Electric' was an exciting experience. We recorded
it between Berlin, London and Los Angeles using various techniques
between old school synth and drum machine programming and new school
computer mangling. For me it was a chance to work with two people who
shaped so much of my musical taste, yet who keep on pushing farther in
both a natural and unexpected fashion. 'Disco' (from 1986) was an album
that always spoke to me because it blended song arrangements with dance
floor mixes, and that is what 'Electric' felt like to make. Allowing
songs to be full length without considering the pop rules, disregarding
classic structures and instead just working instinctively on what was
fun and danceable."
The track listing for 'Electric' is:
1. Axis
2. Bolshy
3. Love is a bourgeois construct
4. Fluorescent
5. Inside a dream
6. The last to die
7. Shouting in the evening
8. Thursday (featuring Example)
9. Vocal
