Speaking exclusively to NME about the album in this week’s magazine, which will hit newsstands on Wednesday (January 16) and will also be available digitally, singer Karen O said “Well…it’s definitely different from the last album. So I guess you could say that hasn’t changed about us! It’s all over the place. The sound of the record is, I guess, a bit more lo-fi sounding and slightly more influenced by roots reggae. There’s a lot of delay on stuff and there’s a more raw sound to it than there was last time.”

She added: “There’s probably more bass on this record than all the other records combined. But there’s also plenty of guitar. It’s a bit more tripped out than our other records.” Scroll down and click to see a video teaser for the album.
