Pet Shop Boys to Release New Album April 21

Yes, the tenth studio album from the dance pop duo will be released April 21, 2009. The album was produced by Xenomania and features guitar work by ex-Smith Johnny Marr and orchestral arrangements by Owen Pallett of Final Fantasy and the Arcade Fire. Pet Shop Boy Neil Tennant said this about the album’s title- “Our official story is that we may have taken it from the famous Yoko Ono exhibition in 1967 where you had to climb up a step ladder – as John Lennon famously did – pick up a magnifying glass, look at a tiny word written on the ceiling, and the word was ‘yes’. I think it partly came from that.” The first single off the new album, Love Etc will be released soon and is described as “a post-lifestyle anthem which sounds like nothing we’ve done before.”
