The Libertines have announced that they want to produce "something special" and "a little bit different" for their hugely anticipated third album.
Discussing new tracks, their forthcoming Alexandra Palace shows and the new album at Spain's Benicassim Festival, drummer Gary Powell told XFM: "I think that would [be] the plan to maybe do a new album. But hopefully we're gonna maybe try something that might be a little bit different.
"Everybody does an album, everyone does an EP... We wanna do something that might be a little more special than just release another album. Everything we do has to be about the connectivity between us and our friends and family, being the fans. And we want to do something special for them."
Pete Doherty also spoke to confirm that the band will debut some new tracks at their Ally Pally shows in September (26, 27, 28): "We're gonna be doing some new songs at Ally Pally. We were just working on one right now, before you came in."
