Dexy's Return With New LP, "One Day I'm Going To Soar," Streaming Now

8/30/2013

Picture
Dexy's (formerly Dexy's Midnight Runners) have returned. The group not only have a shortened name but a new LP, One Day I'm Going To Soar, coming out September 3, 2013. The record has received glowing reviews so far--even from Pitchfork so it MUST be hip right?

You can check out the LP via soundcloud below. Everyone thinks of this group and remembers Come On, Eileen but they did more than that--their first LP, Searching for the Young Soul Rebels, is truly great. Good to have them back. And yes, I know, Kevin Rowland is a cross dresser, who cares?
