A producer for an earlier album, Stuart Price, worked with them in Berlin and made them go out for dinner in week two to the same places they’d been to in week one, in the same order. He also made them record all the tracks in alphabetical order. “And we did, didn’t we?” Tennant marvels. “And then we put them on the album in alphabetical order. It’s actually quite a good logic. It worked out quite well.”

They must have cheated a little bit but so close:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_(Pet_Shop_Boys_album)

Maybe “Bourgeois Construct” was the working title for track 3…

The first few songs are the weakest for me. Once it gets to New London Boy it gets really good and stays as such. I have a lot of time for the freestyle getup on Dancing Star.

yeah I feel like it's missing a really great single up front, something like that would do wonders for this album. it's still quite good I think, especially given the point in their career that they're at. Neil's voice still sounds pretty good to me!

Hilarious interview.

Aw, teasing the idea that we could have a George Michael cover of "End of the World" is really too much. I agree it's a hidden gem though - that segue at the end of "Nervously" gets me every time.

He may dislike it because that's Tennant playing the twang guitar.

That song doesn't feel like a single at all to me.

It doesn't.

Not single material for sure. But being of a certain age, I have to admit that song (and video) got me.

Still playing the new album a lot. Every time they put out something that doesn't really do it for me, they always win me back round with the follow-up. Fundamental after Release, Electric after Elysium and now this one coming after Hotspot which could be my least favourite album of theirs. Feels like they're a band I can never truly write-off and I was worried after Hotspot, that terrible EP and the never-ending Cricket Wife single.

(And the dance remix is much better than the single.)

A silver sliver of PSB cover of "Go West" passed through recent installment of Democracy Now---perfect placement of wistfulness x certainty---and I still can't get it out of my head, my head, not that I want to.

Has "A New Bohemia" got a hint of Oasis about it or am I imagining that? (I can't really describe why I think that).
