The British duo Pet Shop Boys started the week with some important news. They announced that from now on all their new material will be released through their own record label called 'x2'. Also, last Monday the 30th, the duo released 'Axis', the first single from his upcoming album 'Electric'. In a statement posted on the official website, Chris Lowe and Neil Tennant announced:
«Electric -and all our future releases- will be released through our new record label and through Kobalt Label Services -the distributor-. The stamp is called 'x2' (for two). Chris thought of the name for math inspiration. It is possible that we will also release under this new label the record material of other artists in the future. Everything is possible. Neil x ».
Electric will be the first album released by the duo to be released outside the historic Parlophone label, the company that released their records since 1985, and the one they left this year to sign with Kobalt Label Services. It was anticipated that 'Electric', the new album produced by Stuart price (Madonna, Kylie, Lady Gaga, The Killers), will be released on July 15. His first single, 'Axis', is now available for sale on online download sites. The British duo also revealed that the new album will contain eight new songs, plus the participation of English rapper Example, and will include a cover of Bruce Springteen, 'The Last to Die' (2007).
