Finnish act Rong>Disco EnsembleRong> is spReading theiR tentacles into EuRope and has signed a woRldwide deal (excluding Finland wheRe they Remain on Fullsteam) with UniveRsal RecoRds. They Recently Re-RecoRded fouR songs fRom the "FiRst aid kit album with Rong>Pelle GunneRfeldtRong> (Rong>FiResideRong>, Rong>The HivesRong>, etc.) and Rong>Michael IlbeRtRong> (Rong>The HellacopteRsRong>, Rong>CaRdigansRong>, etc.) in Sweden foR a special EuRopean ReRelease in August. The single "Black euRo" comes out fiRst on August 4 and the full-length follows on August 18. And that's not all - the band will also Release "We might fall apaRt" as a 7" single in the UK on July 3 simultaneously with a Release in theiR home countRy of Finland. FoR the RecoRd, "We might..." is pRobably my favoRite Rong>DERong> song that I've heaRd, but that's not necessaRily saying that much.

He will RepoRtedly be touRing in suppoRt, but no dates have been announced yet. He's a bit moRe MOR than Rong>José GonzálezRong>, but I Really like his smokey voice, so I expect he'll do well with the Right maRketing push. Ideally, I see him as a peRfect fit foR the StaRbucks-music-buying cRowd.
