As we near the end of the year, the good folks at Astralwerks are hooking us up with a Pet Shop Boys prize pack — new album ‘Elysium’ on vinyl, plus the “Leaving” single in every format — to give away to one lucky Slicing Up Eyeballs reader, plus a couple bonus items: new albums from Kylie Minogue and Diamond Rings.
The Pet Shop Boys have released a new music video for “Leaving,” the second single off their 11th studio album, ‘Elysium,’ which was released worldwide last month. The single itself is out Oct. 15 in a variety of formats featuring a variety of B-sides, including non-album tracks and remixes.
This week’s new releases include brand-new albums from Pet Shop Boys, David Byrne and St. Vincent and Tom Tom Club, plus reissues from The Stone Roses and Aztec Camera, a live CD/DVD of The English Beat’s US Festival performances, and best-ofs from Duran Duran and Propaganda.
The Pet Shop Boys are launching their 11th studio album, ‘Elysium’ — due out next week and currently streaming online — by performing a 30-minute live set at 9 p.m. CET (3 p.m. EDT in the U.S.) today in Berlin that will be streamed live on the web by ElectronicBeats.net and can be seen here.
The Pet Shop Boys are gearing up for next week’s release of their 11th studio album, Elysium, by streaming the full record for fans on The Guardian’s website and performing a 30-minute live set at 9 p.m. CET (3 p.m. EDT in the U.S.) on Wednesday in Berlin that will be streamed live on the web at ElectronicBeats.net.
With about 10 days left before the release of their 11th album, ‘Elysium,’ the Pet Shop Boys have released an 8-minute interview reel with Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe. about their songwriting process and the making of the album, which already is garnering comparisons in sound and mood to 1990’s ‘Behaviour’.
The Pet Shop Boys today announced that the song “Leaving” will be the second single off the forthcoming Elysium, and will be released Oct. 15 in the U.K. on CD, 12-inch and as a digital download bundle “with extra tracks and remixes.” The track is slated to premiere on BBC Radio 2 on Friday, but you can hear it here now.
