The Dandy Warhols Do Things Themselves With New Album

The Dandy Warhols are back in orbit with their eighth full-length album, Earth To The Dandy Warhols, the first release for their new Beat The World Records.

Album opener "The World The People Together (Come On)" is available as a free download on The Dandy Warhols' website. A downloadable version of the entire 13-song record can be purchased on the site as of May 19 as part of a new online subscription service. The band's last album, 2005's Odditorium Or Warlords Of Mars, came out through Capitol.

The album was produced by Warhols vocalist/guitarist Courtney Taylor-Taylor. The rest of the Portland, Ore. group is composed of guitarist Peter Holmstrom, keyboardist/bassist/vocalist Zia McCabe and drummer/vocalist Brent DeBoer. "Love Song" includes contributions from Dire Straits' Mark Knopfler and Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers guitarist Mike Campbell.
