Gossip

 They've come a long way. A long way since their humble beginnings as a riot grrl hipster alt underground cult punk band from Portland, Oregon. Now Gossip, although their mainstream peak seems to have come and gone in the UK, have experienced great success elsewhere worldwide with "Heavy Cross" from their last album becoming a smash hit in Greece, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium (Wallonia), France, Austria, Belgium (Flanders), Italy, Australia, Israel, New Zealand and The Netherlands.

Yep.

Anyway their new LP is out here soon, it's called A Joyful Noise, it has that lead single produced by Xenomania that we quite liked that was released a few days ago and seemingly sunk without a trace.

Here is a tracklisting:

1. "Melody Emergency"
2. "Perfect World"
3. "Get a Job"
4. "Move in the Right Direction"
5. "Casualties of War"
6. "Into the Wild"
7. "Get Lost"
8. "Involved"
9. "Horns"
10. "I Won't Play"
11. "Love in a Foreign Place"

 Lovely. You can actually listen to the whole thing at the Guardian website. What do you think?
