A while back, the reunited Death From Above 1979 announced that unlike several festival season reunion acts, they had written new songs and played them on tour. Now, in an interview with NME, the duo have announced The Physical World: the long-awaited follow up to 2004's You're a Woman, I'm a Machine. The album was produced by Dave Sardy (Oasis, Nine Inch Nails), and hits shelves September 9 in the U.S. via Last Gang (a U.K. release date has yet to be confirmed). As DIY Mag reports, it contains tracks titled "Right On" and "Virgins", as well as lead single "Cheap Talk".

Speaking with NME, DFA 1979's Sebastien Grainger said that the band's fans played a big role in inspiring the new material:

"No matter what Jesse and I do, on whatever scale of success it's sat on, there's always some kind of reference to Death From Above. It's only frustrating because it's so lazy. So we're putting out a Death From Above record and if the press is like, 'It's not what we expected,' or however they react to it, it's like, 'Well, you've been fucking asking for it.'"

Here's an earlier statement statement from label head Chris Taylor:

“We can confirm DFA1979 is in the studio making an album set for fall release. Hell has frozen over, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria….throw in Dave Sardy and it is a meeting of truly biblical proportions.”

One track on the new album is being described by the band as "Springsteen meets Sonic Youth".
