Gossip Present Music For Men Oct. 6

DIY post punk-rock trio Gossip’s first major label offering of new material, Music For Men, hits stores Tuesday October 6, 2009.  The album will be available earlier via all digital service providers in the U.S. on June 23, 2009.  Recorded at Shangri La Studios in Malibu, CA, Music For Men was produced by multi Grammy Award winner Rick Rubin.  Music For Men finds Gossip taking drummer Hanna Billie’s pulsating rhythms and guitarist Brace Paine’s raucous whaling to a whole new level.   Syncopated beats, punk rock attitude, dance energy and ominous bass thumps provide the perfect canvas for the unique vocal power and range of the band’s renowned front woman Beth Ditto.  The Telegraph UK recently proclaimed “Gossip are currently producing one of the most persuasive rock/dance hybrids ever.”  One of the years most anticipated new releases, Music For Men is Gossip’s first album of new material since their iconic Standing In The Way Of Control catapulted the band into public consciousness in 2006.  Fans will get a chance to check out Music For Men today when AOL’s Spinner.com begins streaming the album in it’s entirety  at http://www.spinner.com/new-releases.
