Blondie's new studio album set for release in September

"Panic of Girls," Blondie’s 9th studio album, is set for release on September 13 on the band’s own imprint Noble ID.
The first single is "Mother," a nod to the legendary West 14th Street night club of the same name. See it here: http://www.blondie.net/video/
From the press release:
"Panic of Girls" colored with inspirations from New York City's roiling melting pot and street-level pop culture, hearkens back to the core of Blondie's genius while remaining positively fresh. Collaborating with producers Jeff Saltzman (the Killers, Fischerspooner) and Kato Khandwala (Paramore, Papa Roach) for the first time, Blondie has created one of their most astounding albums in their storied 37-year career. New wave dance gems, songs sung in French and Spanish and even a reggae cover are threaded together with a timeless pop sheen. Inducted into the Rock 'N' Roll Hall of Fame in 2006, Blondie has sold more than 40 million albums worldwide.

Debbie Harry, Clem Burke and Chris Stein are joined by newer band members Leigh Foxx, Tommy Kessler and Matt Katz-Bohen.
