When's the next album due?
 

So Resistance Is Futile came out last April - time's gone by quick, but also it seems a lot longer ago. Anyway. I've not read anything myself about a new album but I imagine the guys have been working on stuff in the past year, and with their new studio they will be more settled now as it was all up in the air and moving before RIF. I hope we get a new one this year, or perhaps a one-off single :)

There was a photo of Nicky in the studio with a double bass on instagramm the other day with the caption "new sounds" so im guessing they are up to somthing...

Double bass? Have they ever used one before? Is this going to be their Tender moment?

I'd love something before the Truth"20" shows or maybe after the upcoming tour.
Sean has completed his overseas fundraising travelling and got new tattoos.
Last interview James quoted in as saying next would be recorded quickly.
Stuff has probably been done, but no idea if it's the next thing they'll do or we even hear.
There could be record company bollocks of stuff being held of for new year, but wasn't that what they signed a new deal for?
I still reckon there isn't a single note of it recorded from the demos and demos.
But yeah, looking forward to whatever the next one is.

My guess is it'll be recorded this year and we'll get it in about a year's time.

That sounds about right.

Nicky said shortly after RIF that James had loads of ideas and a new album could happen soon.

Then again he said they might not release another album about three days before RIF was announced. :D

I'd heard they're in the studio so soon I hope.

Double bass? Are we getting a rockabilly album? :D

Heres the link to the double bass photo if anyone hasnt seen it

So James has removed his initial ban on Nicky playing fretless instruments then!

I've fallen out of the loop a bit really, don't know what they're up to beyond preparing for these May and summer festival dates. Sean always seems to be up some mountain or other or getting a new tattoo or summat. Has there been any suggestion that they're actually working on new material? Bit concerned by the gap between Futurology and Resistance Is Futile, but suppose between a couple of anniversary tours, the soundtrack and time getting shorter as I get older, it somehow didn't feel as long as the shorter gaps in the 00s between KYE and LB, and LB and SATT. Already got TIMT 20 to fill some gap.. Wouldn't expect one this year, but at the same time did kinda feel like RIF was sprung on us. Fuck knows, maybe they've already goe one up their sleeves.

Yes, I remember reading on the Truth sleeve notes that Nicky played double bass on 'Black Dog On My Shoulder'.
