The Polyphonic Spree's Tim Delaughter has told the NME that they should have a new UK record deal by the time their next album is ready for release in early 2004. As previously reported the band were dropped by Warner affiliate 679 Recordings earlier this month due to poor record sales.
Commenting on the label situation DeLaughter told NME: "Yeah, well as you know we've signed with Hollywood Records in the States. And we've almost signed a new one in the UK too, but I can't tell you about that until I literally sign on the dotted line."
"I'm selling tonnes of records over here (North America) – and I'm not even doing anything! But I've got one of the biggest distribution companies in the world making sure my record's out there in the right places, so… Well, it'll be interested to see what happens once we change labels. Then again, maybe The Polyphonic Spree will never do it. I want people to know that we're not a novelty act. We've got some great new stuff – the album's almost finished being mixed. Shoot, man! I love the whole record! I'm really proud of it. It's the best thing I've ever been part of."
