DEVO offers Something For Everybody

After a 20-year gap between studio albums, DEVO have just announced the tracklisting for their forthcoming Something For Everybody slated for release June 15. Contrary to erroneous reports of a 16-track album (see Pitchfork), the 16 songs considered for the new release by DEVO were made available on the group's site (www.clubdevo.com) as part of an "Official Song Study" in which like-minded Devolutionaries were given freedom of choice to select their favourites for inclusion. Only the 12 most popular tunes according to the focus group survey made the final cut.
The results of the "bold experiment" were announced by DEVO's Gerald Casale and Mark Mothersbaugh via satellite link to a gathering of journalists, historians and a random assortment of concerned citizens (including some dude with a bike) at DEVO Inc.'s corporate meeting centre at an undisclosed location near Akron, Ohio.



Something For Everybody is now available for pre-order at DEVO's merch site.
