Dexys, the band formerly known as Dexys Midnight Runners, have confirmed details of their new studio album

The follow-up to 1985's Don't Stand Me Down is titled One Day I'm Going To Soar and is released on June 4.

Frontman Kevin Rowland said of the album: "I got lucky. I couldn't have made this record five years ago. Or ten years ago. Everything seemed to fall into place.

"I don't know why, but it seems like the stars were aligned. Everything seemed to work, whereas previously, it hadn't."

He added: "This is a Dexys record, not a Kevin Rowland record. It's now called Dexys, NOT Dexys Midnight Runners because it's the same, but it's also not the same."

Rowland is backed by Mick Talbot, Pete Williams, Jim Paterson, Neil Hubbard, Tim Cansfield, Madeleine Hyland, Lucy Morgan and Ben Trigg.

The full tracklisting of One Day I'm Going To Soar is as follows:

1. 'Now'
2. 'Lost'
3. 'Me'
4. 'She Got A Wiggle'
5. 'You'
6. 'Thinking Of You'
7. 'I'm Always Going To Love You'
8. 'Incapable Of Love'
9. 'Nowhere Is Home'
10. 'Free'
11. 'It's OK John Joe'

"In the past there was Dexys Midnight Runners. From now on there is Dexys," the band announced last summer when premiering the first minute of the record.

The group precede the album with the following two live shows
  • May 6 - Glasgow, Cottiers Theatre
  • May 8 - London, Shepherds Bush Empire
