Electric is the twelfth studio album by English synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys. It was released on 14 July 2013 on the duo's own label, x2, through Kobalt Label Services as the duo's first album since their departure from Parlophone. [4] Electric was the first in a trilogy of albums produced by Stuart Price, followed by Super and Hotspot . The single "Thursday" features a collaboration with English singer and rapper Example.

Contents

Electric reached number three on the UK Albums Chart and number 26 on the US Billboard 200, the duo's highest chart performances in both territories in 20 years. The album was supported by the Electric Tour which visited 46 countries through 112 concerts. [5]

Background and recording

Electric was completed less than a year after the Pet Shop Boys' previous album, Elysium . They had several unused songs, including "Axis", "Vocal", "Inside a Dream", "Shouting in the Evening", and a cover version of Bruce Springsteen's "The Last to Die". [6] [7] Their intention was to make a dance record, [8] and they enlisted Stuart Price, the music producer of their Pandemonium Tour, who had remixed the last single from Elysium, "Memory of the Future". As they added new material, the project developed into a full-fledged album. [9] [10] [11]

Price stated that his goal was for every track to have a "euphoric, fresh feel to it". [8] The more dance-influenced nature of Electric was a response to the "reflective mood" of Elysium. [12] Neil Tennant commented, "Elysium was about growing old; Electric is about remembering that sense of youthful excitement". [13] The album title was chosen "because that's what it is—electronic music that we hope is exciting." [1]

Pet Shop Boys recorded the album between November 2012 and April 2013. [12] They worked at Price's London studio for the first few months. Later in the process, Price was in Los Angeles, and the duo exchanged material with him from London and Berlin. [9] [11] Price decided to record the songs in alphabetical order, starting with "Axis" and ending with "Vocal", [10] which was finished on the day the album was scheduled to be completed. [11] "Fluorescent" was added as a ninth track during the last month of recording after Chris Lowe sent Tennant a demo. [11] [12] Price finished mixing the album in late April. [8]

Release

Electric is the first Pet Shop Boys studio album that was not released through Parlophone, after 28 years with the label. Pet Shop Boys announced the launch of their own label, x2, in partnership with Kobalt Label Services, for Electric [4] and future releases. [14] Chris Lowe was given credit for the name x2, pronounced "times two". [14]

The album was released in the UK on 14 July 2013 on CD, digital download, and LP formats. Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Australia, and New Zealand had an earlier release date of 12 July; and in the United States, Canada, South America, Spain, and most other countries, the album was released 16 July. [15]

Promotion

On 14 March 2013, Pet Shop Boys debuted a short trailer for Electric on YouTube. [16] The entire album was made available for streaming in the United Kingdom via The Guardian on 9 July. [17]

In support of the album, the duo embarked on the Electric Tour, which began on 22 March 2013 at the Cumbre Tajín festival in Veracruz, Mexico, where they debuted two songs from the album: "Axis" and their cover version of Springsteen's "The Last to Die". [18] The tour's first official date took place at the Movistar Arena in Santiago, Chile, on 13 May 2013. [19] The setlist featured songs from the forthcoming album, including "Vocal" as the final encore. [19] [10]

Singles

On 30 April 2013, immediately following the official album announcement, "Axis" premiered with a video and digital release. [20] The Boys Noize remix of the song was released on 14 May. [21]

The single "Vocal" premiered on 1 June 2013 on DJ Dave Pearce's BBC Radio 2 show Dance Years, [22] followed by a digital release on 3 June. [23] A CD single and digital download were released on 29 July, featuring new remixes of the song, [24] [25] and a 12-inch vinyl single was released on 9 December. [26]

"Love Is a Bourgeois Construct" was released as a single on 2 September 2013. [27] The single contains remixes and two B-sides, "Entschuldigung!" and "Get It Online". [28]

The single "Thursday" was released on 4 November 2013, with remixes and two B-sides, "No More Ballads", "Odd Man Out". [29] The video footage for the video was shot in Shanghai. [30]

"Fluorescent" was released as a limited edition 12-inch vinyl to celebrate Record Store Day 2014 on 19 April. [31]
