Dodgy To Release First Album In 11 Years

Dodgy have announced that they will release their first new album in 11 years 'Stand Upright in a Cool Place'.

The follow-up to 2001's Real Estate will be released on February 20, 2012.

Nigel Clark, Andy Miller and Mathew Priest recorded the album in a Malvern farmhouse this summer, before it was mixed in Texas.

New tracks on the album include 'Tripped and Fell', 'Raggedstone Hill', 'What Became of You' and 'Only a Heartbeat'.

Speaking about the 11 year gap, singer Nigel Clark said: "What's the rush? We've taken our time to make sure this album is better than our last one, and that was brilliant.

"The fans deserve it and we believe that the songs are good enough to win us a whole new audience."
