Song of the Day: Pet Shop Boys’ standout new synthpop tune “Leaving”

We’ve already heard two tracks from long-running British synthpop band Pet Shop Boys‘ eleventh album, Elysium, which is out this week.  But while “Invisible” and “Winner” were more than solid, “Leaving” is the leadoff track — and best song — on Elysium, an ’80s-esque pop song that reconciles the singer with the end of a relationship.  It’s as memorable as anything the band have ever released.  Check it out below.
