The Stereophonics have spoken about their upcoming album, which they have recently started working on.

 

The Welsh band have finished their first bout of recording for the release, and plan to hold the second stint later this month. They claim the new offering to be "different" from their last LP Language. Sex. Violence. Other?.

 

Frontman Kelly Jones reveals: “The songs are rocking yet different from the last album and it seems they have pretty big choruses. We go back into the studio mid September for another two weeks and continue working on the sound of the record.

 

“The songs are there, but we want the record to have a big sound that translates anywhere, so rather than do this record the typical way in one big batch of time, taking breaks in between to analyse it, is working well."

 

Jones also explained that the band's rift with former drummer Stuart Cable was over, and the group were on speaking terms: “Me and Stuart have been talking lately, we bumped into each other in a toilet in Shepherds Bush Empire a while ago and drank together till the morning hours. This week he was telling me about his ringleader outfit he had to wear presenting the Kerrang Awards."
