Aussie electro-pop duo the Presets have unveiled the details surrounding their second album, and its title is strikingly close to that of countryman Mel Gibson's Mayan adventure epic Apocalypto. Apocalypso (which we'd be remiss not to point out is also the name of a Mew song) is the follow-up to 2006's Beams, and it will arrive via Modular April 12 in Australia, May 12 in the UK, and May 13 in the U.S.

Apocalypso's first single "My People" is available now, and a music video for the track resides at the link below. A follow-up single for "This Boy's in Love" lands March 29 in Australia, April 1 in the U.S., and April 8 in the UK.

The Presets have a heap of Apocalypso support dates scheduled all the way into June, including shows in-- you guessed it-- Australia, the UK, and the U.S. (plus Canada).
