Pet Shop Boys said: “Electric is very much set on the dance floor. Our latest album often evolves as a response to our previous album and, whereas Elysium had a reflective mood, Electric is pretty banging! And working with Stuart Price on a studio album is something we have wanted to do for a very long time”.
Stuart Price said: “Making Electric was an exciting experience. We recorded it between Berlin, London and Los Angeles using various techniques between old school synth and drum machine programming and new school computer mangling. For me it was a chance to work with two people who shaped so much of my musical taste, yet who keep on pushing farther in both a natural and unexpected fashion. ‘Disco’ (from 1986) was an album that always spoke to me because it blended song arrangements with dance floor mixes, and that is what Electric felt like to make. Allowing songs to be full length without considering the pop rules, disregarding classic structures and instead just working instinctively on what was fun and danceable.”
The track listing for Electric is:
- Axis
- Bolshy
- Love is a bourgeois construct
- Fluorescent
- Inside a dream
- The last to die
- Shouting in the evening
- Thursday (featuring Example)
- Vocal
Pet Shop Boys embarked on the Electric tour in May of this year. The tour is created in collaboration with Es Devlin (creative director/designer) and Lynne Page (stage director/choreographer). For a complete list of dates, see below.
