Pet Shop Boys announce new album, Hotspot

Pet Shop Boys have announced details of their highly anticipated new studio album, Hotspot, which will be released on Friday, January, 24, 2020 on x2 Records/Kobalt.

Hotspot was mostly written and recorded in Berlin and Los Angeles and produced and mixed by Stuart Price. It features 10 brand new Tennant/Lowe tracks including previous single Dreamland featuring Years & Years, released earlier this year, and new track Burning the Heather – which features Bernard Butler on guitar.

Pet Shop Boys say: “We’ve written much of our music over the last 10 years in Berlin and it was an exciting experience to work on this album in the legendary Hansa studios there and add a new dimension to our sound.”

The album, the third instalment in the series of PSB albums produced by Stuart Price, follows Electric in 2013 and Super in 2016. It will be available on CD, vinyl and digitally, and is available to pre-order now.
