White Lies Hoping To Be More Experimental With Album No.2

November 25, 2009

White Lies are hoping to delve into more experimental realms with their second album.

Bassist Charles Cave says they've set aside a two month window in their schedule to begin work on the long-player and they're feeling the pressure.

However, they're not thinking about even writing until their European tour ends in February.

Cave told BBC6music: "There's almost so much pressure that you just have to forget about the whole thing and just have loads of fun.

“At the end of the day, we are in a fantastic position. The first album has done well enough that it enables us to be a bit more experimental, and do what we want really, and see where a whole year and half's worth of new music and influences come in to effect."
