New single „Dancing star“ (digital April 3rd / CD May 3rd)

[daveid]

So no second single before album release, no loneliness vinyl , no loneliness remixes and even this release doesn’t have a vinyl release. I miss x2……

It's released digitally three weeks before the album...and given many of us won't even get the physical CD of Loneliness 'til Nonetheless ships it's hardly an issue.

Great artwork. Simple and striking. "Sense of Time" sounds like a song title mentioned previously in Annually

From Geowayne:
Sense of Time
Originally calling it "In the Moment," the Boys have said that this one "sounds like Tel Aviv beach music." I'm afraid I don't know what to make of that since I haven't the vaguest idea what "Tel Aviv beach music" sounds like.


Who knows from which Literally/Annually this mention is?

Annually 2020. The track started off with the title "In the moment" on 4th April 2018 and became "A sense of time" on 6th April. They worked on it for various days up until 26th April.

As a side note, a six track cd single won’t be eligible for the UK singles chart.

Good. They have loyal fans who will buy quality physical product. I hope to see many CD singles with multiple tracks from here on in. Why be restrained by rules for a chart they haven't a prayer of breaking into?

"Dancing Star is an ecstatic hymn to Russian ballet dancer and KGB escapee Rudolf Nureyev, who Tennant watched a documentary about. He repeats a line referencing the swinging 60s that Nureyev joined: “When the streets of London sang with pop stars / Well the truth is that they always do.”
