Pet Shop Boys are the best-selling duo in British music, ever. Their new album Electric, released in July, grew out of the sessions for their last release Elysium. The duo kept coming up with dance songs that didn’t fit the darker tone of Elysium and they started working toward the new record. In a way it is a return to form for the two whose fans have certainly some to expect more dance-oriented material. We’ll listen to performances recorded at the Sonar Music Festival. On Electric they do a cover of a little known Bruce Springsteen song – here we’ve included a live version of it as a web extra.
