But don't ask things like when the new album is coming, because the band has no idea.
James posted a lengthy missive to fans via MySpace, and said the band is ready to move from the demo stage to the recording stage. Details about where they'll be recording and who they'll be working with are still under wraps. I guess it's safe to say they won't have another session with Phil Spector any time soon....

Next up is more recording. We are moving on from the demo stage now and we all hope that some of the recordings we complete over the next few weeks will make the final album. Where we are recording the album and who we are doing it with I'm sure will be revealed in due course!
Everyone is very excited (and a little nervous) to finally be back in the studio making an album. As far as speculation as to when the album will come out, it is too early to say. We may get in the studio and everything will fall into place or it may take a little longer. Needless to say the most important thing is that we make the best album we can possibly make (and hopefully a contender for album of the year!).
Nice to see the band is being so ambitious; but then again, if they weren't, why would they even bother?
