Oh my gosh! A new Basement Jaxx album! September 12 will bring Crazy Itch Radio to the floor, courtesy of XL Recordings. It will be available as a download, on vinyl and "specially packaged CD, featuring a super-swish lenticular cover," according to a press release. ‘Cause if there's anything in this world I want to be super-swish, it's my Basement Jaxx CDs.

The follow-up to 2003's Kish Kash is, like that album, a guest-heavy affair, featuring vocals from Jaxx associate Vula Malinga (who sang "Oh My Gosh") on "Hush Boy", grime MC Lady Marga on "Run 4 Cover", veteran British soul singer Linda Lewis on "Lights Go Down", and Swedish pop tart Robyn (as well as a children's choir) on "Hey You".

Crazy Itch Radio was created at SW9, the home studio of Jaxx-ers Felix Buxton and Simon Ratcliffe. Buxton explains the title thusly: "We've all got the crazy itch. You could be in Hawaii on the beach and still get a mosquito on your neck. It's the crazy, colorful itch of life." Oh well, guess it's not a reference to that grime guy Crazy Titch after all.

Before the album's release, Basement Jaxx are taking their house and getting outta the house on a summer-long European tour opening for Robbie Williams. They'll play a series of UK headlining shows this winter, with visits to New York City and Los Angeles scheduled for the fall. They'll hit NYC's Webster Hall and Avalon for two nights each in October. A full U.S. tour is in the works for early next year.
