According to lead singer Win Butler, the band is in great spirits and making great progress on the new album. He recently told UK based site Uncut that they have almost half the album written and will probably release new material sooner than anyone expected.
Excerpt:
“None of us want to take three years making a record. It could be that we’ll play live [soon] and maybe we’ll end up bashing it [another album] out fast. We’re in the middle of writing, things are coming together, it’s a great feeling.”
Butler also talked about being ready to tour again. Even though the Neon Bible tour was their biggest to date and quite exhaustive, he is ready to hit the stage again.
