XX Teens Welcome You To Goon Island


07/11/2008
.
(Mute) XX Teens will release their debut album "Welcome To Goon Island" on Mute September 30, 2008.

The 11-track album - produced by Sheffield's Ross Orton (MIA, Fat Truckers, Bromheads Jacket) - features the single "Darlin'" which will be available digitally (DATE [looks like the PR forgot to fill it in]).

"Welcome To Goon Island" is born from the great British Art School tradition, the core of the band having met at art school in Southend. Vivid and expansive, the album is political, innovative, and joyous � it rumbles, rolls & swings coming to an end with the swirling psychedelia of "Sun Comes Up" and a moving eulogy from British peace activist Brian Haw.

(Food for thought: If they had added just one more X to their name, imagine how many google hits they would enjoyed!)

Album Tracklist:
1. The Way We Were
2. B-54
3. Round
4. Ba (Ba-Ba Ba)
5. Onkawara
6. (Reprise)
