Happy Mondays are recording a new album which is set for an early 2009 release.
Shaun Ryder confirmed the follow-up to 2007's 'Uncle Dysfunktional' when talking to Billboard.
The frontman said: "It's sounding good. We had a few tracks left over from the last Mondays' album, so we thought that we might as well do another one.
"Knowing us, it'll probably come out in about two years time. I mean, the other one, we had that in the can for, what, two years before that got released, because of legal problems. It took us eight or nine years to sort out all that.
"So we've now got ourselves a new set of legal problems, which will probably take another few years to sort out and then we can get this one out."
