"Brilliant." USA TODAY "The most successful (and colorful) duo in the history of UK music" Stereogum "A synth-pop record so polished and seamless, one with a maturity matched only by the constant quest for surprise." Los Angeles Times "The duo impressively join a raft of other legacy artists (David Bowie, Black Sabbath) in proving that getting older doesn't mean you have to lose your passion, creativity or, in the cast of Electric, your libido." Paste "The UK duo's 12th studio album Electric stands among their best" Idolator July 16, 2013 - Electric, the new studio album from Pet Shop Boys, is out today on their own label x2 (via Kobalt Label Services). The album was produced by Stuart Price and is now available in stores and at all digital retailers. 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.    The duo recently sat down to reveal the story behind the songs on Electric, which is currently available to watch in full via Billboard.

To listen and download for free via SoundCloud, click HERE.      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."

PET SHOP BOYS UNVEIL THE VIDEO FOR THEIR NEW SINGLE 'VOCAL'

THE SINGLE IS TAKEN FROM THE NEW ALBUM 'ELECTRIC', RELEASED THROUGH x2 ON JULY 15

LOS ANGELES, CA - JUNE 18, 2013 - The video for the new Pet Shop Boys single 'Vocal' is now available on VEVO here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNR8gQAoYCs. 

Pet Shop Boys - Vocal

 

This short film has been produced and directed by the filmmaker and photographer, Joost Vandeburg. He has created it using authentic amateur film footage shot at various raves in the late 80s, along with some footage from the Haçienda in Manchester. The video (and the song) was inspired by the way British youth at this time found its own freedom with a new culture epitomised by dance music and raves: "It's in the music/It's in the song/And the feeling of the warmth around us all is so strong."

'Vocal' is released as a physical single on July 22. The track is already available to download. The new album 'Electric', produced by Stuart Price, is released on July 15. Remixes of 'Vocal' are to be announced soon.

Pet Shop Boys perform live in the UK this week as part of the worldwide 'Electric' tour. Tonight they play London's O2 Arena, and on Thursday the tour reaches the Manchester Arena.

'Vocal' is available to download now here: http://bit.ly/16D3aQt
