Snow Patrol Recording New 'Electronic' Album

Snow Patrol have revealed that their next album will feature elements of electronica.

The Irish group are due to start work next month on the follow-up to 2008's 'A Hundred Million Suns'.

Keyboardist Tom Simpson has said that fans should expect a change of direction away from the band's rock foundations.

"Well, I don't know about techno but certainly it'll have an element of electronica about it,” he told Spinner.

"I've been buying some really interesting equipment which I hope will get used on the new record. There will be a heavy dose of electronica."

Earlier this year, drummer Jonny Quinn said Snow Patrol's new album would be released between February and July next year.
