The UK Pop band return with brand new album 'Earth vs Pipettes' and its preluded by New single 'Stop the Music' released April 19th via Fortuna POP! Record.Since we last saw them they have lost Drummer Joe Lean to Jing Jang Jong as Rose Elinor Dougall and RiotBecki left for solo careers away from what the band term "self-manufactured pop".

The Pipettes retain a great vocalist in Gwenno Saunders, the lead singer on The Pipettes biggest hit to date "Pull Shapes" and living proof that the Welsh, from Jones and Bassey onwards, have the best pipes. Gwenno's sister Ani was recruited to reinforce that theory and Alex White (of The Electric Soft Parade and Brakes) completed the new line-up on drums.

In their first incarnation, donning polka dot dresses and referencing the girl groups of the late fifties in the heyday of skinny tie indie music, The Pipettes had remarkable success. A top ten album in Japan where the single 'Pull Shapes' was only kept off the number one spot by J-Lo, top ten radio positions all across Europe, two Top Forty hits in the UK and a Top Ten in the US billboard indies. They played on the main stages at Reading and Glastonbury, blazed a British trail across SXSW, conquered the world and sold a heap of records.

Now they are back with the Martin Rushent-produced new single 'Stop The Music' being released on the Fortuna POP! label. The track is a gleaming disco ballad inspired by the dance scenes in Spike Lee's film 'Summer Of Sam'.
