Their new album may be called This Is Not The World, but The Futureheads are entering the World of streaming their new record before it's release. Spinner has got the entire album up for you to check out right this very second.
Early favorites of mine? I've been a big fan of "Broke Up The Time" since it was unveiled late last year, along with singles "Radio Heart" and "The Beginning Of The Twist". The song that is Muxtape-worthy at the moment, though, is deep cut "Hard To Bear" - it's all about that xylophone or whatever it is in the background.
If you think you can hold out a few more days, This Is Not The World will be out June 3rd in the US on the band's Nul imprint which Megaforce is distributing in the states.

This May will be a big one for Stranded In Stereo, as we jump across the puddle and attend the Great Escape Festival in Brighton. Europe's leading music festival, Great Escape runs this year from May 15th through the 17th and Stranded In Stereo will have it covered for you!
The lineup is rather intense, featuring buzz bands like Vampire Weekend, Beach House, and Lightspeed Champion, alongside (what I would call, at least) heavyweights such as The Futureheads, The Fratellis, The Wombats, The Hold Steady, and a bunch more.
Stay tuned to Stranded In Stereo as we'll start previewing the festival in the coming days, and will begin feature bands playing the fest as our Band Of The Week. And, of course, we'll give you first hand reports from the field from our own Dany Sloan. Get ready.
It seems like it has been forever since The Futureheads released 2006's News & Tributes, but the wait will come to an end when the English quartet release their new album, This Is Not The World, on May 27th.
World will be the band's first album on their own imprint, Nul Recordings, after spending time on both Sire and Vagrant. The band recently released the first single from the album, "The Beginning Of The Twist," in the UK. Here is the video for that catchy gem:
The band will tour Europe in May and June, and I would only assume a US tour would follow soon after. I, for one, cannot wait.
