Come on, don’t be shy, we won’t judge if you admit that you’ve boogied to ‘Hungry Like The Wolf’ before. There might be a tiny bit of judgement if you say the same about ‘Wild Boyz’ but we shouldn’t really talk, as I write this ‘How Bizarre‘ is playing in the office.

Now the band that was founded back in 1978 have just finished their 14th album, Paper Gods, and you can enjoy one of the tracks off that album. It’s called ‘You Kill Me With Silence’ and if you click that video above it will begin to play – the wonders of technology.

The Daily Beast sat down for an interview with the band and here’s some of what they had to say:

“I think we’ve retained our sense of adventure, which is a very key part of keeping Duran Duran alive,” explains keyboardist and co-founder Nick Rhodes. “We have to be truly excited by what we’re doing, otherwise we would have stopped a long time ago.  I don’t think there are many artists that three and a half decades into their careers are still trying to explore new sonic architecture and different approaches to songwriting”…

“I think the iTunes generation has done something quite interesting to music,” he muses. “Because instead of it being tribal like it used to be, where people only listened to heavy metal or jazz or whatever, this is the shuffle generation, who don’t mind listening to Miles Davis one second and then jungle the next, and then the Beatles. Which is bizarre. But actually, if you choose and curate your music well, it’s quite inspiring to hear stuff come on that you weren’t expecting and to enjoy it in a different way”…

“I always find pleasure in everything we do,” Rhodes says. “That’s part of our mandate: We do a lot of work, endless hours in the studio. We’ve toiled an awful lot over the period of our career, but we do try to enjoy ourselves, too. And we are undoubtedly lucky that we get to keep doing what we like doing. It was amazing at the beginning when we were formulating our ideas and making these plans, and had all of these grand schemes that none of us even knew would work. Fortunately, some of them did.”

The album comes out on September 11 and, if you’re a real fan and have figured out how to use iTunes, you can preorder it.
