My computer thinks I'm gay, I threw that piece of junk away" is the bold opening line Brian Molko delivers on the lead single from his band's upcoming seventh studio album.

That 10 track collection, entitled Loud Like Love, was recorded in London's RAK Studios and is due out September 16.

Before that, we have 'Too Many Friends', which you can listen to below. Sounds like vintage Placebo to our ears.

As for the accompanying world tour, they've planned dates this year in places like Istanbul, Antwerp and Bangkok, but have yet to give us an Irish date.
