The Pet Shop Boys will usher in 2013 with the release of “Memory of the Future,” the third single off their latest album Elysium, on Jan. 1 in two different download bundles, featuring a number of new remixes of the track as well as three new B-sides — one of which, “One Night,” is being premiered today here at Slicing Up Eyeballs.
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.
This week’s new releases include a ‘prequel’ to The Cult’s latest album, plus the second single from Pet Shop Boys’ new record, audiophile vinyl reissues from The Stone Roses and The Gun Club, and a 3-disc box set from the U.K. called ‘Teenage Kicks 1977-1981 The Music That Changed Everything.’
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.
