The Dead Weather 'Halfway Through Second Album'

The Dead Weather released their first album 'Horehound' just two months ago, but already the band are near to completing the follow-up.

Singer Alison Mosshart (who is also a member of The Kills), revealed: "In between now and Christmas I'm going to go back to Nashville at some point [where Jack White's studio is based]."

"I think I'll spend most of December in America and finish the second record. So there will be more. [The songs] sound great. I really like them."

"We've been playing three or four of them on stage, so they keep changing all the time."

Alison also explained how shocked she was at the positive feedback The Dead Weather have received.

"The last year has been incredible," she said. "I never knew it was going to go like this. We never planned to be a band. Certainly I didn't think we'd be so busy and that things would go so well."
