Having got “The Beginning Of The Twist” out of the way, the Mackems have pushed on to an exploration of radio waves with this new vid for the catchy “Radio Heart.” The band, and the lovebirds at the center of the story, dematerialize and float through the ether, finding a connection somewhere in the frequencies. “I want a girl who doesn’t like to dress to impress / A girl with a radio heart / We’ve never met but we’ve never been apart.” The track fades into static, the would be lovers still never having met … bummer. But at leas the new Futureheads stuff is sounding promising.
This Is Not The World is out in UK on 5/26, and 5/27 in the US, via Nul.

Sounds a hell of a lot like a lost 1978 Elvis Costello/Attractions B-Side. Which is nice…
I say that the F-heads are 3-for-3 on This Is Not The World — hey, what’s the record for most singles released before the album is out?
Everything I’ve heard from this album has me excited. I thought their second album was a bit sophomore slumpish. Even the faster songs sounded a little drained. As the other commenter noted, the first thing I thought of was Elvis Costello, specifically the song “Radio.”
