Last month Metronomy frontman Joe Mount teased some details about the band's forthcoming fifth album. Since then they've been relatively silent about the project but now the album's got a name, a release date, a track list and a video for the first single "Old Skool."
Summer '08 will drop July 1, Mount told Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1. Along with the album's release date and title Mount premiered "Old Skool." "Old Skool features the legendary turntablist Mix Master Mike, a long time Beastie Boys collaborator, contributing a scratch break.
It looks like Mix Master Mike's not the only collaborator on schedule for Summer '08. The track list reveals that Robyn will make an appearance on the track "Hang Me Out To Dry."
In previous interviews Mount explained that Summer '08 is meant to be a sequel of sorts to the band's 2008 Nights Out. Now the Summer '08 moniker starts to make even more sense.
Check out the track list and video for "Old Skool" below.
