Royal Blood return with new album Back To The Water Below

The Brighton duo - made up of Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher - are set to release their fourth studio album Back To The Water Below on 8th September and teased a bit of what to expect.

Asked by Radio X's Johnny Vaughan how it felt getting back into the studio, frontman Mike Kerr revealed: "We started working on new ideas on the road so it sort of began there, but yeah being in the studio is pretty boring most of the time, until you get a great idea, but it’s fleeting moments.”

Asked how the pair form songs, despite playing the bass and drums on stage, the rocker revealed: "We like to try and make sure there’s a song beneath it all, so sometimes we begin at the piano or an acoustic and it sounds nothing like the version you hear eventually.

"We kind of remove all that, keep the melody, keep the topline and then kind of... turn it into the devil’s music."
