The Streets Going "Ravey" On Next Album

The new album by The Streets will take a "ravey" direction, songwriter Mike Skinner has stated.
In a blog post, Mike revealed he is working on the follow-up to 2008's 'Everything Is Borrowed', and he's pleased with the way things are shaping-up so far. "I don't have a studio at the moment so my sofa is it." Writes Skinner. "It is actually quite a good studio. It is warm and software can do such a great job these days."
He then went on to deny rumours that his next longplayer was influenced by Lou Reed's classic 'Berlin' record. "Anyway, the album doesn't sound like Lou Reed's Berlin because I never said Lou Reed, I only said 'Berlin'. Incorporating some kind of post modernist art house bauhaus row with foul mouths."
As for the new music, Skinner explains: "It now sounds ravey. It is a ravey album album that bludgeons you over the head with its stick of 1988 Romford, Blackpool and Philadelphia rock. It is an insane album. Mayhem is an insane man."
