Dirty Pretty Things have started work on the follow up album to Waterloo to Anywhere, according to the NME. They've written a bundle of new songs with several likely to appear on the new recording. Guitarist Anthony Rossamondo revealed, "We're not interested in making some archetypal self-indulgent second album. Every band feels pressure for their second album because it's supposed to be an elevation from the first one, but we've seen a lot of second albums come out over the past year and most of them aren't really about anything, they're just about trying really hard to write hits. We'd like to be able to do what Nirvana did which was to write songs that were popular but also have integrity. So we're trying to do that I guess. Everything's got to happen naturally, if it doesn't it's just bullshit and people will see through it. We're not concerned with being massive we just want to be integral."
The NME further reveal that Rossomando only now feels like a proper member of Dirty Pretty Things. "I actually feel for the first time since the last tour that it's my band just as much as Carl's. He's really fucking cool about that. That's what The Libertines were about, in the beginning anyway, it was about that bouncing off each other and collaborating."
