The Sunshine Underground new album and tour

The Sunshine Underground have announced details of the release of their second album in early 2010. The band will also be touring the UK in February around its release.

Nobody's Coming To Save You will be released through City Rockers /EMI on February 1st 2010 and follows their debut album, Raise The Alarm. The album will be preceded by a single, We've Always Been Your Friends on January 25th.

The 10-track album was produced by the band and Barny (Franz Ferdinand, Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian) and recorded during a 4-week period at the Chairworks Studio in West Yorkshire.

The full tracklisting is as follows:

1. Coming To Save You
2. Spell It Out
3. We've Always Been Your Friends
4. In Your Arms
5. A Warning Sign
6. Change Your Mind
7. Any Minute Now
8. Here It Comes
9. One By One
10. The Messiah

Still as stirring and anthemic as ever, Nobody's Coming To Save You, adds something more – it's the sound of The Sunshine Underground enhanced. Still laced with their musical nods towards the likes of Talking heads and Metal Box era PIL, the album is deeper, heavier and more expansive. And in keeping with the cultural and political times the songs are populated by souls weighed-down with longing and anticipation and deal head-on with small town frustrations and political resentments.

Following a string of festival dates and sold-out tours throughout 2009, where they road-tested new material, and a number of 'guerilla' gigs in November which they only announced 24-hours in advance via their website, the band have announced a U.K. tour around the album release.
