"Meanwhile, the band have finished 'Life Blood', their seventh studio album, and it is set for release in October. Bassist and lyricist Nicky Wire told NME.COM: "It's modern, shiny, pure pop, elegiac pop, It really is the poppiest album we've ever done. The mixer of Goldfrapp (Tom Elmhirst) has been working with us, and he's really given it a lovely sheen and a modern edge. We've been listening to The Associates, early New Order, Joy Division. It's 'The Holy Bible' for 35 year olds!"
