Dirty, dirty Internetz!!!! Gone and leaked the new Pet Shop Boys single everywhere!
PopJustice have been bigging up the forthcoming album, ‘Yes’, for a while now and if they are to be believed, it’s a serious return to form.
Decide for yourself by wrapping your ear holes round the single, ‘Love Etc…’:

I’m kinda’ digging it.
Roll up, roll up and grab your PSB:
A long weekend partying in Bristol coupled with the worst snowstorm to hit London in a gazillion years mean I really can’t be bothered to post much today, sorry folks. I have some good shit I wanna’ blog this week, just not today.
In the meantime you can clock this video for La Roux‘s new single ‘In For The Kill’. This track took me a little longer to get into than ‘Quicksand’ but I love the chorus now.
Those cheeky chappies at Universal have disabled embedding on the video for some reason so you’ll have to go to the inconvenience of visiting a whole-nother site to view it.

If you haven’t already, ‘Quicksand’ can be bought here:
The ‘Saint Etienne‘s back’ train just keeps on a’rollin’!

Those nice fellows at SubSpace Communications have sent on over this reMix of ‘6 In The Morning’ by UK ElectroPop goddesses Client.
Client have been a staple of the worldwide ElectroPop scene and, having weathered the mainstream’s on/off relationship with Electronic music, continue to churn out great album after great album. Maybe now the mainstream is (temporarily) in love with ElectroPop it’s time for Client to be elevated into super-stardom?
This reMix is supplied by Biomekkanik, which is Christer Hermodsson (or Crull-E!) from Sci-Fi SynthPoppers S.P.O.C.K., now producing EBM flavoured ElectroPunk with this side-project. With this reMix he turns the 60’s tinged ‘6 In The Morning’ into a hypnotic Electro-Rock beast.

‘6 In The Morning’ is taken from Client’s 2008 album ‘Heartland’, go check it out:

Boston’s Freezepop have been flying the quirky-Indie-ElectroPop flag since 1999 earning themselves a dedicated army of fans worldwide.
Now they have covered Yazoo‘s ‘Only You’, with some help from Danny Gold from Polystar, as part of the Buffetlibre DJs Rewind project.
Good stuff!

Up and coming London Electro-House-Garage-Bass-Bastard producer A1 Bassline has hammered home this reMix of SynthPop guru Frankmusik‘s 3 ‘Little Words’
♫ Frankmusik – 3 Little Words (A1 Bassline reMix) (zShare) (MediaFire)
‘3 Little Words’ is taken from the ‘Frankisum’ EP and was also released as a single in it’s own right.
Both worthy purchases for any fan of Electronic Pop.
Depeche Mode have finally set a date for the new album, now titled ‘Sounds Of The Universe’
From depechemode.com:
“January 15, 2009- Groundbreaking, chart-topping electro legends Depeche Mode are proud to announce the release of their long-anticipated new studio album, Sounds Of The Universe on April 21, 2009 (Mute Records).”
Looks like Dave Gahan is taking more of a prominent role as a second songwriter which, if his last solo effort is anything to go by, isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
This is the quote from the press release that excites me:
“Recorded in Santa Barbara and New York, Depeche Mode returned to using a lot of vintage gear, from analogue synthesizers to drum machines, in order to conjure up the retro-futuristic arrangements featured on the album”
As ever, ‘Sounds Of The Universe’ will be released on Mute Records Ltd.
It looks like the album will actually be available for download on April 20th in Europe.
If we’re going to take about Depeche I can’t help but drop this 2006 reMix of ‘Personal Jesus’ by Boys Noize:
♫ Depeche Mode – Personal Jesus (Boys Noize Rework) (zShare) (MediaFire)
Along with some classic Mode from ’83:
