The band have headed North Eastwards to New York to record the album, which they say contains songs that are 'beach-y', as well as tracks more in line with the sound of their debut Youth and Young Manhood.

They will be premiering some of their new songs when they headline Bonnaroo as well as at other festivals in the States, but Irish fans will more than likely have to wait til the end of the year, when it's expected the album will be ready for release.
