Kings of Leon drummer Nathan Followill has revealed a few details about the progress of the band’s new album.
Speaking at a press conference as part of theBonnaroo festival, Followill said the the new album and follow-up to 2008′s ‘Only By The Night‘ is “coming along great”.
The drummer also revealed that the album will be “beach-y” and sound similar to the band’s early album, ‘Youth & Young Manhood‘.
“[It was the] first time we ever recorded in New York City and we thought we’d come out with a darker record because we’d done all our records in either Nashville or Los Angeles where it’s a little more chilled out,” said Followill.
“I’ll be damned if we didn’t go in there and make a fun record! It’s got songs that are beach-y and songs that are a little more like our Youth & Young Manhood days. We’re super excited. It will be interesting to see how well received it is,” he added.
Followill gave no details as to when the band will release the new album.
The Kings of Leon are set to play this year’s Bonnaroo festival.
The band are set to take to the stage on Friday, June 11.
