The Futureheads project success for The World :: Music News :: Articles

The Futureheads announced on April Fool's Day that This Is Not The World, the album we've been clamoring about for a good while now, will be released May 27. No pressure, gents!

This third album is hoped to be a charm for the Scottish rock outfit. At least the soil seems fertile for success, from extensive touring to prep for the first single’s release, “The Beginning of the Twist,” and various television spots on queue.

Not to mention the lads are going rogue after splitting with their former label, 679, in 2006. Now all releases will be through their own imprint, Nul Records, which will distribute solely their own work. Keeping it simple—that’s what we like to see.

The album reportedly harkens back to the less-pop version of themselves, much like their 2004 self-titled release. The band will tour the UK through mid-May and hopes to announce dates for the States in the near, ahem, future.

To hear the first single, visit the band's MySpace. Or check out “Broke Up the Time” here and check out the video, as previously reported.
