The excellent Grandaddy are set to return with a third album next April. The band are still in the studio preparing the album – though they reckon they already have enough material to fill two CDs. Talking to Rolling Stone they said: "I think we're going to do two CDs, but in no way will it be a double album. That is the biggest fuckin' rock overambitious cliche in the world. The record is probably going to run about 55 minutes. There's the making-dinner section, and there's the you already made dinner and you're home from the bar and you want to rock your ass for the 45 minutes before you go to bed and everyone wants to dance in the living room section."
According to the NME Grandaddy will launch their own Sweat of the Alps label before the new album is released – it will be an Internet-only imprint that will issue two records a year.
