The tour follows a secret set that they played at the Woodsies stage this Glastonbury Festival, which marked their fifth appearance at Worthy Farm. Calling Glastonbury the greatest festival , Pizzorno noted that the appearance marked one of the greatest days in this band s history , previewing their new record while covering dance classics such as Deee-Lite s ˜Groove Is In The Heart .
In an interview released today with NME, frontman Sergio Piozzorno explained the pop-structured mentality behind the band s eigth record. Usually, I tend to react to the last album, and I went through it surgically (wahey) so that every eight bars, it hits, Pizzorno explains. It s a pop record, in a way “ it s just big song after big song. I wanted to make the point, then leave as fast as possible.
Meanwhile, The Streets most recently dropped the contemplative single ˜End Of The Queue , which was released as part of their upcoming ˜Fabric Presents… mix. Mike Skinner s most recent record ˜The Darker The Shadow, The Brighter The Light dropped last October.
