The Kills are three quarters of the way through recording their new album, singer Alison Mosshart has revealed.

Mosshart said the duo were progressing well with the follow-up to 2008’s ‘Midnight Boom’, but that sessions had been put on hold so she can tour with side-project The Dead Weather.

“We’re kind of half finished, or three quarters of the way finished with the new record,” she told BBC 6 Music.

“I’m going to go back after this tour and finish it.”

Mosshart added that it had been “great” returning to the studio with Kills bandmate Jamie Hince.

As previously reported, The Dead Weather are set to play the Pyramid Stage at this summer's Glastonbury Festival.
