 The Dandy Warhols are back and ushering in a rockin return to form with their sixth LP, "Earth To The Dandy Warhols", the bands debut album as masters of their own destiny. Pulling together the diverse sounds and influences that have always characterized their music, it's quintessential Dandys, full of the same dry vigor thats made them world famous. Earth To The Dandy Warhols is set for release on August 18, 2008 via The Dandy Warhols newly minted Beat The World Records, in association with Worlds Fair and Cooperative Music.
From the Some Girls-era Rolling Stones-meets-Talking Heads Welcome To The Third World, to the campy Mis Amigos, to the psychedelic rock of Beast of all Saints, Earth To The Dandy Warholsis pleasure of a ride that allows you to fully settle into it while still keeping you on your toes. The band reached out to their friends, too, inviting Dire Straits Mark Knopfler and the Heartbreakers guitarist Mike Campbellto join in on the rollicking Love Song.
The Legend Of The Last Of The Outlaw Truckers AKA The Ballad Of Sheriff Shorty, is a 21st century take on outlaw country that has Courtney Taylor-Taylor growling melodically over dusty guitar riffs. Earth to the Dandy Warhols serves as a stunning platform into a new era of The Dandy Warhols career, and places the band firmly in the ranks of rocks elite class.
In May, The Dandys treated fans to the party-starting opener The World Come On, in conjunction with the re-launch of their website, through which fans also can get an early jump on the album through a digital subscription service available now: http://www.dandywarhols.com/ts/?account_id=75183
