The Maccabees Confirm They're Working On New Album

London indie band The Maccabees have confirmed that they are back in the studio working on their fourth album, the follow-up to 2012's Given To The Wild, and revealed that they hope to get it finished by the end of year.

Frontman Orlando Weeks told NME:

"We went straight back into our studio in Elephant & Castle at the end of last year. We spent time doing it up too - I was painting the kitchen."

"We had such a busy time after 'Given To The Wild' and to feel excited enough to get on with a new album straight away must mean something."

Guitarist Felix White also discussed how the album is going to sound, and his big hopes for the record, "It's going to be sort of similar to Given To The Wild, but it's also going to be more direct and exciting. I think it's going to be our best record."

Given To The Wild was released in January last year, reaching number four in the UK Albums Chart.
