The B52s Confirm New Album
Alt pop vets The B52s have confirmed details of their new album.
Entitled 'Funplex', it's the Athens, GA quartet's first album since the release of 1992's 'Good Stuff' when Kurt Cobain was still drawing breath. So, no slouches then.
Long thought to be in the "We-thought-you-were-dead" file, The B52s' 'Funplex' is produced by former U2 and New Order knob-twiddler Steve Osbourne and sees the light of day on March 3.
Ahead of the album's release, the band is set to perform an exclusive DJ set at Easy Lover @ Punk in London on January 18. Not only do The B52s promise to get the party started with an eclectic set of electronica, funk and rock, they'll also be spinning selections from 'Funplex'. Clearly, this'll be an evening to attend as the next one may not be till 2022.
The track listing for 'Funplex' is:
- Pump
- Hot Corner
- Ultraviolet
- Juliet of the Spirits
- Funplex
- Eyes Wide Open
- Love in the Year 3000
- Deviant Ingredient
- Too Much to Think About
- Dancing Now
- Keep This Party Going
'Funplex' is released on March 3 on EMI.
