The 16 year wait for a new B-52's album will be over on March 25. That is when the Athens, Georgia band will release 'Funplex', the follow-up to 1992's 'Good Stuff'.
B-52's started work on the record in 2003. It has been 5 years in the making but promises to be indicative of the B-52's sound.'Funplex' was produced by Steve Osborne (New Order).
In between 'Good Stuff' and 'Funplex', The B-52's rarely had new music. Their last song was from The Flintstones movie where they appeared as The BC-52's and contributed to the soundtrack.
Singer Fred Schneider released two solo albums during the gap and also worked with Sophie Ellis-Bextor on her third album.
Kate Pierson sang with Japanese band NiNa and both her and Cindy Wilson sang on Junior Senior's 'Take My Time'.
'Funplex' will be released on Astralwerks, through EMI.
The tracklisting is:
Pump
