The Leicester band said the studio sessions for their follow-up to 2006's Empire had influences ranging from "techno" to music from the 1960s.
"The music we're making is rooted in techno and dance music but it's also influenced by the '60s," guitarist Serge Pizzorno told Metro.
"The new stuff is sounding really hypnotic. The tunes we've done so far remind me of a really good road movie."
Singer Tom Meighan added: "This is the best record we've made so far - of course, I'm always gonna say that.
"We've got to compete with a title like Empire so we're not making it easy for ourselves."
