There's currently much excitement in the electronic music world about the soon to be released Pet Shop Boy's studio album Electric. It's seen as a return to form after 2012's Elysium which was considered too downbeat. However before we all get too caught up, let's take a moment to revisit two excellent tracks from Elysium. "Leaving" is a gorgeous song about believing in love even after it seems to be over, and how the love we have for someone can remain even after they're gone. "Invisible" is another beautiful track presumably about getting older and feeling that with the loss of youth you are no longer seen as an object of desire? fun? musical relevance? I think these tracks are classic Pet Shop Boys.
Oh and btw, I've heard the new album Electric and it's really very good - I keep playing "Bolshy" and the Bruce Springsteen cover "The Last To Die".
