UPDATED: Alphabeat is BACK! (but still not yet in the US)

One of my FAVORITE groups of 2008 and hailing from Denmark, Alphabeat is back with a new album, slated to release on October 19th! I am on the hunt for just a taste from their new album, as the BBC is reporting that they are departing from their 80s/New Wave/B-52's sound from their first album and into the realm of 90s hip hop (think Snap! & Black Box). I cannot wait! Sadly, still no release date slated for the US. Their first album sold over 100,000 records in the UK and still hasn't released in the US. Though, with their array of talent collaborating on their sophomore album release, it's sure to hit the US record stores by late 2009 or early 2010.

On a more personal note: Alphabeat was THE band that inspired the creation of the Wonky Pop music blog. I could not be more thrilled to know that they are continuing their musical career path and am so excited for the new music that will come!
