In the US, Dexys, the group once known as Dexys Midnight Runners, are remembered as one of the iconic one-hit wonders of the ’80s — the group who took “Come On Eileen” to #1 in 1983 and then faded from view forever. In their native UK, however, Dexys are a beloved institution that’s been through a tumultuous history. Last year, Dexys and Primal Scream released the single “Enough Is Enough!” to support striking rail workers. Today, the group announces plans to released a new LP called The Divine Feminine; it’ll be their first album of original material in 11 years.
