Dance music duo Pet Shop Boys have announced the release date of their brand new single ‘Winner’, taken from their forthcoming new album ‘Elysium’, out September 17th.
The brand new track is available to download from tomorrow (July 3rd) but will officially see a release on August 6th. ‘Winner’ will also be available on limited CD (with 3 bonus tracks), limited 12”, and as 2 digital bundles (including bonus tracks and remixes) upon its official release.
The duo - Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe - recorded ‘Elysium’ earlier this year in Los Angeles, the first time they have recorded an album in America. They co-produced the record with US producer Andrew Dawson, who has won three Grammys for his work on Kanye West’s albums.
‘Elysium’ features twelve new songs which display a warm, deep electronic sound, and includes orchestral arrangements by Joachim Horsley, Andrew Dawson and Ben Leathers. Backing vocals are provided on many of the tracks by veteran singers Oren, Maxine and Julie Waters (whose long career spans sessions with The Jackson Five to Adele), and singer/songwriter James Fauntleroy.
Speaking of the album, the Pet Shop Boys said: “It was inspiring to make an album in Los Angeles, and to work with a producer from a different musical genre, who has brought a new dimension to our music”.
The album track ‘Invisible’ was recently made available online, accompanied by a film made by renowned Los Angeles artist/film-maker Brian Bress.
