From this week's NME:
ELASTICA's new album features Justine Frischmann duetting with THE
FALL's Mark E
Smith on two tracks. Smith joined the band at their West London studio
and recorded the songs 'LA' and 'We Want You'. They will be included on
Elastica's second album, work on which should be completed next month.
A spokesman for Elastica confirmed the collaboration had taken place,
explaining that Elastica's Dave Bush once played
keyboards in Smith's band. He said all of Elastica were big Fall fans.
The spokesman said the lyrics were of a typically
surreal Fall nature. He added that the as-yet untitled album was due
to be released in the spring.
