THE HORRORS said they are itching to get to work on their third studio album.
The band have promised that the follow up to their critically-acclaimed second LP Primary Colours will have "massive" collaborations.
But for now they are keeping tight-lipped about who the artists will be.
Synth player and sometime bassist Tom Cowan said: "We can't talk about them. Rest assured, they are massive.
"We're playing for the next six months and then as soon as that's done, yeah, we'll get in the studio.
"If we had the choice we'd probably do one month off and one month on, recording and playing, but you just can't do that. It doesn't make any sense to anyone else but you."
Primary Colours has been shortlisted for the Barclaycard Mercury Prize and Cowan said it is one of the few music honours that still has prestige.
Speaking to BBC 6 Music news, he said: "I think there's a lot of awards that get thrown about and they actually don't really, at the end of the day, have any effect.
"If you win an Oscar and you're an actor that's a really big deal but if you get a Brit Award it doesn't really make a difference to your career that much, but the Mercury seems to be the one that can have the big effect."
