Tim Burgess says that the Charlatans will be back with more original material, and that the recent release of a singles collection doesn't mean the end of the band.
He told Xfm: "I'm going to come back with another Charlatans record. I keep getting asked to do a solo record and I think I'm going to starve people of it. Wait until they're really, really going for it, but I will do another solo record yes. I always thought people hated it so I just kind of put it away, and when I was doing the DJ tour with Alan [McGee] so many people come up to me and ask me if I'm going to do another one."
On the subject of the new Charlatans album, he continued: "I have been thinking about how it's gonna sound but I'm quite happy to just let the idea come, but we've got one song that everyone is really happy. It does sound like The Charlatans. Well you know sometimes we like to go on missions? Like with 'Simpatico' we wanted to do a ska kind of thing and with 'Wonderland' we wanted to do a punk thing. It's kind of good and it's kind of stretchy, but now I feel that I have enough information in me now to go out and make a full on Charlatans record. Embracing everything but playing to the trend as well."
