This Is Not The World is an album by post-punk revivalists The Futureheads. It was released on 26 May 2008^{[1] [2]}, 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.^{[3] [4] [5]}.

In advance, The Futureheads have released three singles of the forthcoming album. The first one is "Broke Up the Time", released in November 2007 as a free download through the band's official page and the band's MySpace. The second one is "The Beginning of the Twist", which was released as a video single on February 1, 2008^[6] and was then be released 'officially' on March 10^[7]. The third single "Radio Heart", released to promote the album, was released a week prior to the album. The Futureheads will also be releasing various live renditions of "The Beginning of the Twist" for free download on their official webpage and which will be recorded every single night of their upcoming tour.^{[8] [9]} The album was available on peer to peer networks several weeks before its official release date.

The album was also awarded 'album of the week' on The Music Magazine for the week of release.
