Dance-punks Gossip are set to release their new album ‘A Joyful Noise’ on May 14th.
Taking time off after the relentless touring which followed 2009’s ‘Music For Men’, Gossip have now marked out their return. The band have completed work on their fifth studio album, which will be released later this year.
‘A Joyful Noise’ drops on May 14th, and finds Gossip seemingly move into a pop mode. Brian Higgins (Kylie Minogue, Pet Shop Boys, Girls Aloud) stepped in on production, while sessions visited both Xenomania and KBC Studios in Portland, Oregon.
According to the press release ClashMusic was sent, Beth Ditto “spent the whole year listening to ABBA and not listening to the radio”.
