Pet Shop Boys Say Yes To New Release |
Produced by the acclaimed Xenomania (Girls Aloud, Sugababes, Cher, Kylie Minogue, Saint Etienne), the album features guitar work by ex-Smith Johnny Marr and orchestral arrangements by Owen Pallett (Last Shadow Puppets, Final Fantasy).
"We can't seem to remember how we came up with the title Yes," says Neil. "Our official story is that we may have taken it from the famous Yoko Ono exhibition in 1967 where you had to climb up a step ladder � as John Lennon famously did - pick up a magnifying glass, look at a tiny word written on the ceiling, and the word was 'yes'. I think it partly came from that." (Chris adds: "We thought No was a bit negative.")

Kelly Clarkson Goes Back On TV To Promote New CD |
Oh No Not Stereo Week: Day 1 |
This is the deepest, most personal song I've ever written. It's about a time when I almost died, and how the repercussions from that day still affect me. I was 11 years old, riding an ATV with my best friend WAY out in the mountains of Utah, far from where anyone ever goes. We had a very serious accident and were both unconscious in the middle of a dry riverbed. I had a basal skull fracture, which left me deaf in my right ear, and was bleeding heavily.
We were both lying unconscious when a 17-year-old hunter named Austin Lloyd randomly discovered us. He picked me up, carried me however far it was to where his truck was parked, and then went back for my friend. He got us both to a hospital and most definitely saved our lives.
Six months after the accident, Austin and his friends were fishing in a reservoir in Utah when their boat mysteriously capsized and all aboard were lost and presumed drowned. Their bodies were not recovered. Twelve years went by, with me having an enormous grateful appreciation for my life beyond any combination of words, and giving deep tribute to my hero. I was constantly thinking about all the time I had to chase my dreams now, because of him, and how he didn't have that time, didn't even get past the age of 18. He pulled my half-dead ass out of the wilderness, but nobody was able to do the same for him.
