No official information yet, but I guess the above implies something related to "Shine", which will be their next single.

Super excited that they will be playing Weekend One of Austin City Limits! They are on my priority list regardless of the other acts.

Yay! I only need them to reveal the names of tracks 10 and 16, although I think the latter will be an acoustic version of the former.

"Shine" was premiered on Annie Mac's BBC Radio 1 show as the Hottest Record today and it will be released on July 5 in the UK. https%3A//soundcloud.com/yearsandyears/shineAlso, the album has been pushed back to July 10 and it's going to be a WW release since both versions of the album ( standard / deluxe) appear on the US iTunes store.

Anyway, I read that people suspect that Olly is dating Neil Amin-Smith, who is one of the members of Clean Bandit, but I don't know if it's a Tumblr fan-fiction as well. They're openly a thing now.

In case you don't know, "Shine" is available as an instant grat only in North America if the album is pre-ordered. I'm not sure if this is a good move, but it was already done with "King" in February when it was included on their EP there, while the standalone release was avalaible for pre-order overseas to be out a month later. Also, since I'm talking about North America, looks like someone messes up with its release on iTunes US, Canada and Mexico because there are two deluxe versions of the album and the 'new' one has "Foundation" as an instant grat instead of "Shine" Having said that, you could listen to it here. This definitely works as an album opener in my opinion and Olly's vocals are so good. Moreover, this is the allegedly final tracklisting, which shows "Cold" as the track #10 and "I Want to Love" as #16. It should be mentioned that while "Ready for You" (track #15) isn't labeled as an acoustic on that photo as it's on the iTunes tracklisting, it's not on the Amazon one, so who knows if this is true or not.

The complete tracklist has been revealed through iTunes as well as the length of the tracks and the allegedly picture from Tumblr I previously posted was true, although I messed up with "Cold" because the correct title is "Gold". The letter 'G' looks like the letter 'C'. Moreover, iTunes US, Canada and Mexico have deleted the 'new' deluxe version and "Foundation" isn't available as an instant grat anymore.

I hate to say it but as much as I love most of their songs when they first come out, they have very high burnout with me. "Worship" is an immediate skip for me when it comes on my playlist now even though I was crazy about it initially.

"Foundation" is available as an instant grat if Communion is pre-ordered and you could watch the music video below, which was premiered on Pitchfork today. Olly Alexander said the following about the video to them: "We wanted to revisit some earlier themes and imagery from our videos. We expanded on the eerie and hypnotic feel of the song and played with the drama of ritualistic practice, audience and voyeurism. Our director, Fred Rowson, was really good at seeing into our minds and bringing our ideas to life."

A new track from the album, "Eyes Shut", is available as an instant grat if it is pre-ordered. • In case the Spotify embed doesn't work, you could listen to it here.

posting as a reminder that the album is out now
in the middle of listening to it and I only just noticed that they kept "Real" on the tracklisting, seems weird to keep a two year old single on it but the song is great so I'm not complaining lmao

Of the new songs, Gold and Ties are the standouts.
I do wish this had higher highs in order to vary the tone and tempo a bit, as it gets mired down in a samey-same vibe. Still a great debut.

Ugh. "Without" really pulls the heart strings - beautiful song. That and Memo are real tear jerkers.

As expected, Communion debuts atop in the UK. From the Official Charts: They told the following to them: "We're so, so, so excited! Having a Number 1 album is a dream come true. Thank you EVERYBODY AND EVERYTHING, THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF ALL OUR LIVES. Our fans are the best and we are very very happy today".

So I'm so loving this album. It's rivalling Carly Rae's as my fav pop album of the year. It wasn't until I read the lyrics that I fell in love with the album though and since then, I find the music and production really flirty. A lot of it also reminds me of friends and people I know who were the type to go home with a new guy every weekend - the hot mess friends. Also kind of reminds me of my single days a bit too But I really like the album because to me it captures the feeling of being that type of guy who is easily manipulated and who always needs to be with someone but is never happy.
