Dirty Pretty Things announce new album and single
Carl Barat and co's second album wil be out in June
Dirty Pretty Things will release their second album on June 30.
The album will be preceded by a new single, 'Tired Of England', on June 23.
The album was recorded in Los Angeles and London at the tail end of 2007. The band plus Nik Leman, Graeme Stewart and Ben Wood were on production duties.

The tracklisting of the new album will be:
'Buzzards And Crows'
'Hippy Son'
'Plastic Hearts'
'Tired Of England'
'Come Closer'
'Fault Lines'
'Kicks Or Consumption'
