"This Is Not The World" is an album by post-punk revivalists The Futureheads.It was released on 26 May 2008 [ [http://angryape.com/news/010208-the-futureheads-reveal-this-is-not-the-world-album-details The Futureheads Reveal This Is Not The World Album Details — News — AngryApe ] ] [ [http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/page/news/48044-futureheads-start-their-own-label-for-new-album Pitchfork: Futureheads Start Their Own Label for New Album ] ] , on their own label Nul Records. The reason for creating their own label has been in one part the sale performance of their previous album ("News and Tributes") which led the band from being dropped from their previous label (679 Recordings) and the own decision of the band of having more independence.
