International Teachers Of Pop have announced details of their second album, which is titled Pop Gossip.
The announcement comes along with a brand new single, ‘Don’t Diss The Disco’, which you can hear above.
Says the band’s Adrian Flanagan" "Music and dancing is one of the last great unifiers that we have. It doesn’t discriminate, it doesn’t care about race, sexual preferences, religion or what side of the fence you are on politically. Music chooses you and you just have to submit yourself to its peculiar yet tender headlock!
"‘Don’t Diss the Disco’ is about that. It references Studio 54, Grace Jones & Bianca Jagger on a White Horse – but it’s mainly about clubs where we and our friends frequent like ‘Homoelectric in Manchester. This is a song for our kind of freaks and miscreants and the incessant snobbery faced by them for liking good pop music, good disco, genre’s that on the surface might not be deemed cool, but actually save souls."
Frontwoman Leonore Wheatley adds: "We wanted to capture that sweaty, hazy, manic, exciting mess in a song, that captures those halcyon days of Clubbing in Sheffield & Manchester, that moment the adrenaline kicks in and everyone in the room is your brother or sister.”
The band also revealed that they had a tour planned, but that dates are currently being rearranged for the autumn due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Desolate Spools will release Pop Gossip on May 29.
