Pet Shop Boys confirm they are working on a new album with acclaimed producer Stuart Price
Pet Shop Boys have confirmed that they are working on their next album.
Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe's team revealed on social media that the BRIT Award winning duo have already written 21 songs for their upcoming fourteenth studio album, and will continue writing when back from holidays.
Stuart Price will be producing the record, his third successive project with Neil and Chris following the Top 3 albums Electric and Super from 2013 and 2016 respectively. Stuart has also worked with the likes of Take That, Madonna, Kylie Minogue and The Killers.
The official statement reads:
No release date or title has been confirmed as of yet, but the released via their own record label x2. The pair originally released 11 studio albums under Parlophone Records from 1986 until 2012, all of which were recently reissued on CD and vinyl as part of their Catalogue series.

"...16 Top 10 albums."
And they've only released 13 studio albums!
I know, I know. The Top 10 number includes remix albums and/or hits/singles/b-sides/etc albums.
But it still a bit odd/amusing to read. :D
I hope that this is the last album with Price, for now. (It likely will be.) The results have been quite good (especially after the less-than-stellar Elysium in 2012) but I desire some fresh ideas in their production.
But if the new album matches Electric in quality I'll be happy.
Oh, screw that: I'm ECSTATIC over (practically) everything they do!
