Pet Shop Boys are an English musical duo formed in London in 1981. The duo consists of Neil Tennant, who handles main vocals, keyboards, and occasional guitar, and Chris Lowe, who plays keyboards and occasionally provides vocals. They hold the title of the most successful duo in UK music history according to The Guinness Book of Records.
In the early 90s, Pet Shop Boys operated their own record labels including Spaghetti Recordings. More recently, they have been associated with Olde English and Lucky Kunst labels.
In March 2013, after a long-standing relationship with Parlophone spanning 28 years, the duo officially left the label. They entered into a new arrangement with Kobalt Label Services for their twelfth studio album. This album marked their first release on their own music imprint called x2 (2).

‘Elysium’, originally released in 2012, was seen by some as a shift in sound and direction for Pet Shop Boys. Writing for the album began whilst PSB were on tour with Take That, with some tracks dating as far back as 2008. The album was co-produced by PSB with Andrew Dawson, who engineered much of Kanye West’s album ‘808s &amp; Heartbreaks’, a record which Neil Tennant had become ‘mildly obsessed’ with at the time. The darker lyrical themes of ‘Elysium’ are reflected in the record’s sound. Neil Tennant said: ‘It is deep in terms of the sound—got a lot of sub-bass—it's sort of deep in terms of subject matter, the way it's expressed. But I think it's the Pet Shop Boys' most beautiful album.’
