[Source: NME.com] Placebo have revealed the tracklisting of new album Battle For The Sun to NME.COM.

As previously reported, the band are releasing their sixth album independently on Monday 8 June.

Now, frontman Brian Molko has explained the thinking behind the collection, as well as the tracklisting.

Molko said: “I believe Battle to be the first of our albums to tell a story over the course of its 52 minutes. Our previous releases were really only collections of songs and even though the songs are ordered according to the musical flow, I hope that if you listen hard enough to the words that some kind of discernible thematic unity will begin to emerge.”

The tracklisting is: “Kitty Litter”, “Ashtray Heart”, “Battle For The Sun”, “For What It’s Worth”, “Devil In The Details”, “Bright Lights”, “Speak In Tongues”, “The Never-Ending Why”, “Julien”, “Happy You’re Gone”, “Breathe Underwater”, “Come Undone”, “Kings Of Medicine”.
