This week’s new releases include brand new studio albums from Prefab Sprout, Sonic Youth’s Lee Ranaldo with his new band The Dust, and Steve Nieve of Elvis Costello & The Attractions, plus reissues and best-of sets from The Stranglers, Madness, Pop Will Eat Itself and Propaganda.
The Pet Shop Boys last week released their latest single ‘Together’ — the lone new song on last year’s U.K. best-of ‘Ultimate’ — in the U.S. for the first time digitally in a number of different configurations.
Here’s the video for the Pet Shop Boys’ new single, ‘Together,’ directed by Peeter Rebane and shot in Tallinn, Estonia, earlier this fall. It’s got a lot of dancing and not a ton of Pet Shop Boys.
This week’s new releases include ‘Find the Torch, Burn the Plans,’ a new CD/DVD live set and documentary form Paul Weller; the U.S. release of ex-Dream Syndicate leader Steve Wynn’s ‘Northern Aggression’; and new CD singles from Pet Shop Boys and OMD.
The Pet Shop Boys today announced details of their new single, ‘Together,’ which will be released Nov. 29 in the U.K. — backed by new studio recordings of two cover songs — and appear on the duo’s forthcoming best-of ‘Ultimate.’
