Geoff Barrow told BBC 6music that the band had finalised the initial direction of the album, and were now looking at recording plans and tour dates.
We ve sat down and we ve talked about the direction and stuff like that......And I think everybody at some point wants to get back out on the road, because we didn t really do an awful lot of live stuff.

Kiwi rockers The Datsuns have released details about their impending UK tour, including a February Belfast date.
The band hit the road following the release of their Head Stunts which came out in October.
The Datsuns will play the Spring And Airbrake on February 6. Tickets are prices £11.
Nine Inch Nails are to quit touring. Head bottle-washer Trent Reznor has announced on his website that the band will be ending the NIN-orama "for the foreseeable future after they finish their final few tour dates next year".
The website posting, entitled Curtain Call, also has words on a failed concert DVD project, which Reznor blames on "a certain record company that owns some of the song rights."
Here is a live video since we will never get to see them live in Ireland again
Well as most of ye will know by know, genuine real-life-guitar-hero Joe Satriani is upset with Coldplay who have, by they way, announced that they will be boring people to tears in the Phoenix Park next summer.
Drop-d can sort out this argument once and for all.
Jeff Buckleys version of Leonard Cohens Hallelujah has re-entered the British singles chart.
Why? Well the winner of this years poxy X Factor will release a cover of the song in a bid to capture the lucrative UK Chart Christmas Number One and faithful Buckley fans have started buying his version even though it has not been rereleased.

They provide you with links to download the track in an effort to stop Cowells latest money spinner.
Heres a live vid to remind you of the songs greatness.
In what must be the worst kept secret in the history of music, (other than maybe George Michaels love of public toilets) Blur have finally put all the rumours to rest and will be playing in Londons Hyde Park next 3rd of July
Now lets get a rumour started that they will be playing support to Oasis at Slane and obviously upstage them
Heres an excellent vid-e-yooooooo!
