Elbow have told fans to expect a 'special announcement' next week, strongly believed to be the band's next album.
Taking to their official Facebook, the Manchester Mercury-winning heroes posted the teaser along a photo of them in the studio. See the image below.
The next album would be their sixth, and their first since 2011's critically acclaimed Build A Rocket Boys.
Meanwhile, the band are also strongly rumoured to be appearing at Glastonbury festival next year. They last played the event in 2011, when they performed a triumphant set on the Pyramid Stage before U2. Many festival-goers argued that Guy Garvey and co's performance far surpassed that of U2, and that they should have originally been headliners.
Last month, efestivals.co.uk began touting Elbow as a 'strong rumour' to play the Pyrmaid Stage. The website is renowned for being fairly accurate and reliable when it comes to festival tip-offs.
Will Elbow be announcing their new album next week?
The rumours come after Kasabian and Foo Fighters were tipped by bookmakers as favourites to headline next year's event at Worthy Farm.
Following a sold-out and critically-acclaimed arena tour in November 2012 where they played a dark new track called 'Charge', the band have said to have been 'on a break', despite having plenty of new material written for a new LP.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper ahead of that tour, frontman Guy Garvey said: "We've already done six songs for the next album, then we'll come back to finish it next year."
