Big, exiting, news! Finally someone has snapped up The Human League!
It was announce this week that the League have signed a multi-album deal with Wall Of Sound! This is fantastic news, WoS are a cool label, Oakey and the girls will be in good company as the label is home to the likes of Shy Child, Soulwax, Røyksopp, Tiga, tEPr etc… Just thinking about that kind of production and reMix talent getting their hands on The League is damn exiting, as is the fact that we will now be getting new League material!
Mark Jones, head of WoS, (who has apparently been chasing The League for years) said this: “It’s an honour and inspiration to have them signed to Wall Of Sound. They say ‘never work with you heroes’…but fuck that for starters”. Nicely put! And from Oakey himself: “Emerging from a decade in which everyone seems to have spent their time looking backwards we are delighted to have the opportunity to march forwards once again and attempt to produce new and exciting music in a new and exciting partnership.” See, everyone’s exited!
Listen to their 1981 single ‘The Sound Of The Crowd’ in celebration!
