The Futureheads promise "more Punk Rock spirit" on LP3

The Futureheads are wrapping up work on their as-yet-untitled third album and follow up to 2006's News and Tributes. The band recorded for three weeks in Andalusia, Spain with producer Martin "Youth" Glover. Guitarist Ross Millard commented that unlike their restrained sophomore full length "there's much more Punk Rock spirit in the new stuff." Furthermore:

It was our best recording experience yet because it was the first one that hasn't involved any kind of nervous breakdown/exhaustion/bleak-yorkshire-farmhouse-in-the-middle-of-winter! The energy is back, and the songs are tighter, faster and, dare I say it, a bit more playful than before.

We've changed the way we write a little bit - I've been writing songs for Barry to sing, which he's taken to like Ol' Blue Eyes himself - Dave's got some riffs in there, Jaff's realized his dream of becoming the ultimate back-up singer - it's all going well so far!

The new album is expected in early 2008.
