Indie rock three-piece Gossip have are back with their fifth studio album ‘A Joyful Noise’, which is set to be released on May 14th.
‘A Joyful Noise’ was produced by pop genius Brian Higgins (who’s worked with the likes of Kylie Minogue, Pet Shop Boys, and Girls Aloud), and the album’s first single ‘Perfect World’ will be released on May 6th.
Recorded in both Xenomania, Higgins’ studio in England, and KBC Studios in Portland, Oregon, ‘A Joyful Noise’ stays true to Gossip’s trademark brash and unapologetic nature – that is, as true as possible for a band that is constantly reinventing itself and pushing boundaries.
A blend of soul, gospel, rock, funk, disco, punk, passion and rebellion, Gossip is comprised of vocalist Beth Ditto, guitarist Nathan Howdeshell, and drummer Hannah Blilie. Originally formed in Olympia, Washington in 1999, Gossip first garnered attention with the release of their 2006 breakthrough album ‘Standing In the Way of Control’, and they have been in the spotlight ever since.
Their most recent album, 2009’s Music For Men, sold over 1 million copies globally and was raved about on both sides of the Atlantic, with Clash declaring it “the most euphoric thing you’ll hear this year.”
Gossip will be playing at the ‘Live from the Lot’ event, hosted by Google Music and YouTube, on Thursday March 15th at Red River Garage and at the Chop Shop Records Showcase later that same night at Maggie Mae’s Rooftop. Their ‘Live from the Lot performance’ will be streamed live starting at 6:30PM here.
