Mike Skinner has explained why he plans for The Streets to split after their fifth album.

The singer revealed earlier this year that he wanted to stop recording under his Streets moniker after two more LPs.

"The next album is the last album," he told NME. "I did a five-album deal and I don't think it would be right to be making Streets albums after that.

"I always envisaged them as a box-set and I've got a vision for each of the albums. The next one will bring it back to the start in a way."

He continued: "It will be a lot more futuristic in terms of production but a lot more train-of-thought. Maybe when I'm 40 and broke I might come back, but that all feels a bit pants."

The Streets' fourth LP Everything Is Borrowed is released next month.
