“I don’t know if that’s smart or not, but I think in the long run it’ll probably be smart,” says the frontman, “although it would keep most record labels scratching their heads as to why we would do that.

“Same with this record: we didn’t go in and make another El Camino. Our attention span is too short. I mean, we’re into so many things, and there’s too much to enjoy about music to get stuck on one thing.”

The new Uncut, dated June 2014, is out on Friday (April 25).
