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

Is this the 2nd time they reference Jesus in a song title?
Searching for the Face of Jesus
If Jesus Had a Sister
Both titles sound kind of akward in the PSB catalogue.

Based on the snippet it sounds fantastically, joyously dated. I wonder if this means that they’ve given up on their long-stated notion of writing songs then presenting them using a contemporary dance music framework?

Dang! Orchestral stabs and spliced tape drum beats …. It’s 1984 again

"Tel Aviv beach music"

Sweet Jesus.

Starving Palestinian kids could proper catch the odd beat drifting across if it weren't for all the bombs.

Slava Palestina.

Love the preview, sounds like they are back to real great PSB classic. As some say perhaps even back to a "Please" sounding.

Fantastic tracklist - very exciting!

Now we have to wait two very long weeks

Anyone else hear Thursday when the drum beat kicks in?

If Jesus Had a Sister.... have they becom Sparks?
anyway, didn't Jesus have a number of siblings?

I see that Geowayne already has adressed the issue. Always on the spot!

Love it! Very 80s b-side sounding, in the best possible way. It's also quite exciting getting a 30-second lo-fi sample - reminds me of the early days of PSB online - Screaming, IDOSAC, Nightlife samples, Elusive PSB and so on... Nostalgia is a powerful drug!

Searching for the Face of Jesus is about as Pet Shop Boys a title as you can get.

Elusive PSB.... those were the days.

Ok, if you say so.

Erm..not too sure about this. It sounds like a cousin of the Bobby O track Pet Shop Boys mixed with A Man Could Get Arrested. I mean I love all the early b-sides but I thought all the songs on the album were lush orchestrated melodic tunes? This sounds nothing like Lonliness! It’s even got those ‘Planet Rock’ type stabs on it!

I agree - it's starkly different to Loneliness based on the 30 second snippet we have available ... I am (or was) expecting an album with a fairly cohesive sound but perhaps that is not going to be the case.

Loving the build up to the album ... it's a fun reveal and the Dancing Stat snippet has really thrown more intrigue into the mix.

Oh, PSB I love you, but you're making it hard to be a fan...I mean..shipping!
