The lead single for PSB's fourth album is out later today! It's the follow-up to 2017's fantastic 'Every Valley' and the equally good 'White Star Liner' EP in 2018. I'm very interested to see what the theme for this album is!

Not surprisingly, I'm looking forward to hearing this! They've been teasing us with their tweets for too long

Very groovy, quite an unexpected sound for them!
The album is titled "Bright Magic", more info on that coming in the morning.

Fantastisch! The song is very Kraftwerk, isn't it? The album is released on 24 September, my birthday

QUOTE
an album in three parts (building a city / building a myth / bright magic), it is their most ambitious undertaking yet, bringing you to europe’s heart and de facto capital, the cultural and political metropolis that is the ‘haupstadt’ of the federal republic of germany – berlin.
Now I have to hope I can get to a Berlin gig as part of their next tour

The years go by very quickly when you’re old, don’t they?

Ticket booked for Brighton. At the moment, it will be my first post-Covid gig at the start of a fairly busy few weeks.

Ooft, an album about moving to Berlin to write an album about people who move to Berlin to write an album. Meta! Sehr gut!

How dare they use a band name with the same initials as the mighty Pet Shop Boys.
(I will give their new stuff a listen at some point).

Thankfully, they deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Pet Shop Boys. Working together, they could come up with something truly wonderful.

Ahh this one is so good! Though I do miss when they'd use archive recordings/documentaries and turn them into music.

I didn't have time to listen to the album yesterday, but have put that right today. What a masterpiece I didn't think I could love them more than I did already, but I have been proved wrong. Can't wait to see them next month.

This is a band I have never had a chance to listen to to get into for whatever reason over the years, prob doesn’t help that radio 1 never really supported them much for whatever reason (prob small label) but 6 Music love them!

The support from 6Music has always been invaluable. They were never likely to get much airplay on daytime Radio 1. They seem to be happy with that and have never made much of an attempt to change it.
I got my copy today in Brighton's biggest independent record shop. They said that it had been one of their biggest sellers for years. Strangely, the song being played when I entered was Billie Eilish's No Time To Die. It made me think that PSB could probably come up with a fantastic Bond theme with a suitable guest vocalist.

Hold up Ed Sheeran said he had one planned for when asked!
