Halloween, Alaska to drink "Champagne Downtown" on new album

When last we heard from the confusingly-named Halloween, Alaska (I'm more partial to Easter, Kansas), they'd announce that their third album, which they were in the midst of recording some scant months ago, had a release date of April 7th, 2009.

That much hasn't changed, but now we've been able to get something else that's a little bit more valuable: an album title. Halloween, Alaska's third album is called Champagne Downtown, and, according to the press release, the record promises to "straddle the boundary between the electronic and the organic to create a novel rethink of what pop music can mean in a new millennium."

The release also makes mention of songs called "In Order" and "Gone With The Wind". Should either of those be released as a single (hint hint), we'll let you know about it. In the meantime, check out past material here.
