Pop Music

I get e-mail:

The fall of 2009 will bring a new DEVO studio album, their first one since 1990's Smooth Noodle Maps. It'll mark their first new music since the strong fan reaction that greeted the 2007 single "Watch Us Work It," their first new song in 18 years and one that was produced by Sweden's TeddyBears (Robyn). They're now in the studio putting the finishing touches on their new album (title TBA).

They're also doing a press conference, keynote panel and show at SXSW later this month. (It must be said that I couldn't find a mention of a new album on their Web site, but this came from a serious big-deal publicist, not a guy who knows a guy, so I'm guardedly optimistic.)

The e-mail goes on to say that the lineup is Mark and Bob Mothersbaugh, Bob and Gerald Casale and Josh Freese.

"Watch Us Work It," Devo
