New album - 17 November '05
Pet Shop Boys have just completed their new album in a West London studio.

The album has been produced by Trevor Horn and features 10 new Tennant/Lowe songs, a short introduction (also written by Tennant/Lowe) and "Numb", a song by Diane Warren, originally recorded for the "PopArt" compilation in 2003.

Neil and Chris started writing songs for the album in January and commenced recording with Trevor Horn in May. Chris Lowe commented: "We've really enjoyed making this album with Trevor and his team and are very happy indeed with the finished result." Neil Tennant added: "We think it's a great Pet Shop Boys album and also a great Trevor Horn record."

The album is expected to be released worldwide in April 2006.

Great news!!!

So we are talking about 12 songs, right? 10 songs written by Tennant/Lowe, 1 kind of intro and 1 song written by Diane Warren.

It will be a long wait until april.

With a delay like this between finishing the album and releasing it, they're practically begging for it to have come and gone on the internet by the time they are releasing it.

Interesting, but disturbing, to read that the album is produced by Trevor Horn, period. I would find it strage if the album's not co-produced by the Boys.
