20 March 2012


US indie pop-rock group Gossip have returned with the first taste of new music for 2012, the track "Perfect World." Produced by Brian Higgins (of Xenomania), "Perfect World" is the lead single from the band's upcoming third studio album "A Joyful Noise."

Taken from the official press release:

Recorded in both Xenomania, Higgins' studio in England, and KBC Studios in Portland, Oregon, 'A Joyful Noise' stays true to Gossip's trademark brash and unapologetic nature – that is, as true as possible for a band that is constantly reinventing itself and pushing boundaries. Working with Higgins, Gossip sought to create their own brand of pop. Ditto proclaimed, "I spent the whole year listening to ABBA and not listening to the radio," accounting for the pulsing energy of A Joyful Noise. The album's infectious tracks will certainly be welcomed by fans who are already entranced by Gossip's insanely danceable beats, and will no doubt lure in many more.

"Perfect World" has already been sent to commercial radio in Australia, with the track coming in as the ninth most added track to radio networks across the country this week. Could we see a repeat of the success of "Heavy Cross"...? The single certainly has the potential to do just as well.

Gossip have also revealed the full tracklist for "A Joyful Noise," which will be released May 22. "Perfect World" is available today [iTunes]
