Andrea Zollo and crew reveal new details on their third and "most ambitious" album to date.
The follow-up to the splendid The New Romance is due on April 10th through Matador and the band have unveiled the tracklisting.
DiS has had Elan Vital for a few weeks now and it's certainly a grower, living up to their promise of a "multifarious and scorching" third LP. Live dates are currently in the pipeline, so until then enjoy the tracklisting in its full and ambiguous glory. Glory, I tell thee.

BAND?

Thanks!
They sound pretty good. Thanks for the info.
Yay
you have officially made my day!
Will there be a tour?
You tell them they need to come to Sheffield.
I
agree it's a grower and it's certainly not as poppy as New Romance but I'm glad they made it, the layers of sound and different instruments (hello whistle!)
and the fireworks...
mike, fireworks, HOW??
this is gonna beat the mystery jets' 'putting kitchen utensils into a song' fad easily.
They've
also got a full time acordian player.
Take that Mystery Poos!
tis true
and the fireworks were recorded on July 4th - fact. With a $10,000 microphone - fact.
