"Dexys Midnight Runners have announced that they are currently recording their first studio album in more than 25 years. The band&amp;#039;s last full release was 1985&amp;#039;s Don&amp;#039;t Stand Me Down. Now simply called Dexys, they have confirmed via Twitter that they hope to release new material in 2012. Along with new photos from a recording session, they tweeted: &amp;quot;Dexys new album. Can&amp;#039;t really say why, because it&amp;#039;s hard to put down to any one thing, but it&amp;#039;s working - it&amp;#039;s early days, but so far so good.&amp;quot; Singer Kevin Rowland and original bassist Pete Williams have returned to the group, along with former-Style Council keyboardist Mick Talbot and guitarist Neil Hubbard. Talbot has performed with the band on and off since the mid-1980s. The group scored two UK number one singles; &amp;#039;Geno&amp;#039; in 1980 and &amp;#039;Come on Eileen&amp;#039; in 1982. After splitting up in 1985, they reformed for a tour and a compilation album in 2003.
