The Pet Shop Boys comeback single, “Love, Etc.” has leaked onto the internets.
Here is how the first play transpired.
—
0:01: Oh! Dark electronica. How moody.
0:10: “You need more, you need more.” It sounds a bit like “Gimme More.” I just felt a slight tingling sensation.
0:18: What a wonderfully eerie tube sound following behind Neil’s voice!
0:29: Well, this is a rather enjoyable melod–
0:30: OH MY GOD.
0:35: OH MY GOD.
0:40: OH MY GOD.
1:02: IT’S STILL GOING!
1:40: “Too much of everything is never enough.” What a PSB lyric.
2:07: …Here it comes!
2:08: DON’T HAVE TO BE!
3:18: Fading out on “Don’t have to be beautiful, but it helps…” Genius.

In short, I adore it on so many levels.
“Love, Etc.” is more instant and more engaging than anything the Boys have put out in years; it simply requires to be played on repeat.
As for the melody, it’s something like if the navy boys from “Go West” gathered together for a reunion, got a bit gloomy while discussing the dire state of the economy, popped in Confessions on a Dancefloor, and just started chanting in unison, fists on high.
The album is going to be all shades of epic!
