Elbow have been recording their new album on a remote Scottish island.
Work has already begun on the follow-up to their acclaimed, Mercury Award-winning 'The Seldom Seen Kid', with the band shacked up in the Inner Hebrides on the island of Mull.
"We've just been recording some new material in Mull, which is the most beautiful place on Earth," frontman Guy Garvey revealed to the The Daily Record. "It's a converted church by some snow-capped mountains on the edge of a lake."
On their stay there, the singer explained how Elbow are keeping themselves busy inbetween writing and recording: "We fished, cooked our catch, hung out and got drunk. We'd stay out until it got dark, or we'd fish all afternoon and then come back in early evening."
"We'd generally work until after dark then after dark, we'd sit down and have a meal - usually fish, of course."
"Scotland was really cool - there was no pressure. We were just putting things down as and when they came to us. We weren't forcing ourselves to work, and there was no set deadline for the album. Sometime, we wrote songs that made it into the album."
