# EB Video Premiere: Pet Shop Boys – “Vocal”
# Mssrs.
Tennant and Lowe continue to herald their prompt return with the second
single from forthcoming album *Electric. *Called "Vocal", the track
makes good on the promise that album number 12 is a return to their
dance music roots after the more ruminative *Elysium*. And boy does the
video slam the message home: directed by Joost Vanderburg, the film
consists of grainy, authentic VHS footage of ravers of various stripes
accompanies the uplifting, outrageous synth stabs and snare rolls. Like
the best imperial and late era [Pet Shop Boys][1]{: target="_blank"
rel="noopener"} tracks, the heady tug of nostalgia lies at the very
heart of the song, with Neil Tennant declaring, "I like the singer he's
lonely and strange / Every track has a vocal and that makes a change /
and everything about tonight feels so young". Warning: may cause
uncontrollable flashbacks and fits of sentimentalism---in the best
possible way. Welcome back, Boys. Note: If you are [outside Germany
watch the video on VEVO][2]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"}.

Electric is out via Kobalt Label Services on July 15, 2013.
