London-based electronic dance duo Pet Shop Boys recently returned to the UK from Los Angeles where they recorded their brand new studio album 'Elysium' – which they've now announced will be released in September. You can check out a teaser track, accompanied by a short film from Brian Bress, below.
The forthcoming new album was co-produced by Pet Shop Boys with the young American engineer/producer, Andrew Dawson, who has won three Grammy awards for his work on Kanye West’s albums. Further information on the album, including a confirmed release date, will follow soon – so keep your eyes peeled on Stereoboard.
A single is set to be released at the beginning of July, but for now, you can watch a short video – directed by reowned Los Angeles artist/film-maker Brian Bress - for their album track 'Invisible' can be viewed below. 'Elysium' was recorded earlier this year during the three months Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe spent in Los Angeles.
Producer Andrew Dawson recently said of the album: “It was really exciting for me to work with Pet Shop Boys - the breadth of their career has been phenomenal. They both have incredible ideas and I’ve definitely learned a few tricks from them on making records”.
The Pet Shop Boys themsevles had some to say to, and today said today: “We wanted to make this album in a different environment. Despite frequent visits there we have never made an album in Los Angeles. Working there with Andrew Dawson has enabled us to make a very fresh-sounding album.”
Like several tracks on 'Elysium', 'Invisible' features backing vocals by veteran singers Oren, Maxine and Julie Waters whose long career spans sessions with The Jackson Five to Adele, and singer/songwriter James Fauntleroy.
