The Pet Shop Boys released their new single ‘Vocal’ and video from the upcoming album Electric today.
It is comprised of “authentic amateur film footage shot at various raves in the late ’80s” as well as images from the renowned New Order-owned Hacienda club in Manchester.
The band notes:
The video (and the song) was inspired by the way British youth at this time found its own freedom with a new culture epitomised by dance music and raves: “It’s in the music/It’s in the song/And the feeling of the warmth around us all is so strong.”
The single is now available on iTunes, and the full album will be released July 15.
