If you were hoping for a follow-up to Chvrches' 2013 debut album any time soon, you might be disappointed.
The band, who are currently on tour in the US, told Classic Pop that a new release "could take four months, it could take two years."
Chvrches released their first LP, The Bones Of What You Believe, last year, when it was named by Gigwise as our album of 2013.
Speaking of the album's follow-up, keyboardist Iain Cook said: "You often see bands with a successful debut who get cocky, so they hash out something sub-standard and nobody gives a shit again. So we're not over-confident, but pressure can work against you too."
He added: "We're not going to put out anything we aren't happy with. That could take four months, it could take two years."

As for whether they've got any new songs yet, Cook said: "It's too early to talk about new songs, because nothing is finished. We do most of our work in the studio together – it's fine for one person to come up with something, but it's not a Chvrches song until it's been bounced back and forth between the three of us.
"There aren't any lyrics, but there are little bits where we're thinking 'I can see how that could really work.'"
