The UK post-punk outfit The Futureheads are back, but this time without a major label. 'This Is Not The World' will be released this Spring on NUL Recordings. They're releasing this one themselves.
Check out their open letter to fans video about doing it on their own.
You can get your first taste of the record with the single "The Beginning Of A Twist" on their Myspace page, which dropped on March 10th in the UK with a #20 placing in the Top 20 chart.
The physical single in the UK is available as two vinyls and one cd, along with the download-able version and 10 live versions of the song recorded at different cities on their most recent tour. 'This Is Not The World' will release in the US May 2008.
