Pet Shop Boys will release the 2021 edition of their yearly publication, Annually, on May 7, and they’re set to mark the occasion with a brand new limited single release.
After previously teasing the latest in a long line of book releases, the duo took to Twitter on Monday (March 1) to confirm the pre-order is now live.
The Go West stars say Annually 2021 is packed with, “News from this past year and how PSB have been spending their time in lockdowns… Plus photographs, your letters answered, and more.”
Along with the usual print content, the release comes packaged with a bonus two-track CD, featuring new cut Cricket Wife.
“This dramatic new song – almost 10 minutes long – is accompanied by the lockdown version of West End girls which debuted online in June 2020,” adds the group.
