Following their triumphant performance during the closing cermonies of the London Olympics last night, Madness have just released the first single from their hotly anticipated new album "Circus Freaks" which is due out sometime in 2013. The song, "Death Of A Rude Boy" is available as a free download (click here). The single's also been remixed by Andrew Weatherall, which you can download from iTunes.
Unlike the upbeat and decidedly English pop of their last album "The Liberty of Norton Folgate," the new single has a rather sinister sounding reggae skank to it, along with a strong hint of The Specials 'Ghost Town' in the eerie organ melody that carries the song.
While there's no release date for the album yet, the band are setting out on a UK tour to support it later this year.
