Jake Bugg working on new album

The singer-songwriter from Clifton made a huge impression with the release of his self-titled debut album last year, earning followers such as Noel Gallagher and The Stone Roses.

Speaking to Stuart Clark of Hot Press, the 19-year old said he has already recorded tracks for the follow-up album.

"I've got 12 songs recorded," he says "I'm going to do another two weeks in there and hopefully have it finished by September."

He continues: "It's simple - make a record, tour the ball-bags off it and then make another. The Beatles were knocking 'em out every six months. That's probably not realistic anymore, but I want to release something new every year."
