Speaking at the prestigious Ivor Novello awards yesterday, bassist Jeremy Pritchard spoke to Gigwise about the follow up to 2013's Arc. The band who were nominated for Best Contemporary song for 'Kemosabe', but lost out to James Blake who won with 'Retrograde'.

When asked if the band had any festival plans for summer, he responded: "No we did a fair few last summer, we're not doing anything this summer we're just writing another album and recording it.

"We wanted to make a kind of quicker, harder, more frenetic record than the last one, because although we felt we wanted to make a much more considered mature album after our kind of ADD first record, we thought okay we're all kind of sick of that and we wanted to do something with a little more kind of maturity. So we made that record and we're kind of sick of that as well I suppose."

He continued: "We're in danger of doing both albums a disservice by having a kind of allergic reaction to them that then spurs you on to do something new. But then we are, we always want to do something different than what's been done before and we want it to be more quixotic again I guess."
