The partnership with Steve on the album obviously worked really well and the band are keen to take the partnership into the next album as Preston explains.

"Yeah, definitely, I'd like Elvis Costello to do an album but I couldn't imagine doing the second album with someone different. It would be a definite mistake because he likes all the same music as us. He really understands where we are coming from. He appreciates my lyrics and everything so I think he is perfect for us. I think it is rare to find your perfect producer on your first album so we are just lucky. For the second album it is really important that we make the songs write themselves. Rather than thinking too deeply about it, analysing where we should take the second album and all that shit. We should go into the studio, have a laugh and see what comes out the other side."

Are you anxious to write new material?

"Desperately," he continues.

"It's a little frustrating now," begins William. "Because the tour is still going on and we've got to go to Ireland and Japan before we can get back and do some recording."

Preston continues. "It's even hard to write at the moment. We're either always walking around or people are walking in. It makes it a little difficult to write but I've written about four songs for the next album. So we're going to see what else happens. See what else we have by the time we go into the studio and how many we can record then."
