Any news on James Ford album?

Or Morse! But Spiritualized did Morse too.

I’d like to see them do something Brailley but I think Farrow have probably had their fill of Braille with all their Spiritualized sleeves.

Or a whole new set of symbols, like Pink Floyd on Division Bell but that would be too pretentious.

All the lyrics and credits included but completely redacted. And the track listing. And the album title.

‘Opaque Pet Shop Boys’

I hope they’re moving on from DIN for this new album, it’s been DIN to death since Dreamland came out.

What does DIN that mean exactly ?
I like this title

Edit : it's a loud noise, or means
Deutsches Institut für Normung

It’s a type family famously used on German road signs (and in other countries, probably, but it mainly makes me think of Germany). And all over the Hotspot sleeve.

It’s very nice and functional and clean but they’ve used it on all the website adverts since Hotspot as well and it’s time they tried something new.

In English, ‘din’ is noise, which could be fun as an album title! But has nothing to do with the name of the typeface. I assume!

Bumping this thread up now we've turned the corner into 2024.

I never fail to appreciate the build-up / campaign ahead of a new album. These periods mark phases in my life. Not much gets me excited these days, but the countdown to a Pet Shop Boys album still does, giving me a fleeting reunion with my younger, more excitable, self...

What do we all think? Something to drop before the end of Jan?

I would say so - with the album due in April, I’d be surprised if we don’t hear the first music in the coming weeks.

There's a lot of interesting designs in the mark farrow site but there's no mention of the artists (i don't think there would be already something from the new album).

Let's skip Farrow and just repurpose jules' avatar as the album art. It's suitably opaque, bright, with a hint of inner turmoil.

And the new PSB single is… “A hint of inner turmoil”
Well done!

I'm sure there will be the official announcement right after the 4 February 2024 final "Worldwide Dreamworld" screening. Then with "Annually 2024" coming out on 10 May 2024 (with "An in-depth look at the new album (set for release in Spring 2024) including artwork, lyrics, and a diary of the creative process with commentary from PSB), the new album will probably be released right before on Friday, 3 May 2024, perhaps? If you notice, most artists announce new albums roughly 3 months in advance. So the new "teaser" single will be shared on 5 February, 2024????????

If the film has a new song in its credits, the new song would be Oscar eligible.

I don't think it could happen.
