The band have been working on the follow-up to their debut Myths Of The Near Future since 2007 and were reportedly forced by their label to re-record parts of the LP.
Singer Jamie Reynolds told BBC 6 Music: "We'd really like to put out the first great record of the 2010s rather than the last great one of this decade. Now that's become an aspiration and a goal.
"We've taken it to the next stage and it's rawer and simpler and as we were at our best. We've stripped the complication and we’re back to being raucous."
He added: "We've now got 28 songs and we're just about to put it together as a complete record. We're looking for a producer and if anyone out there makes records, give us a bell."
The band have previously worked with David Bowie collaborator Tony Visconti and James Ford of Simian Mobile Disco on the project.
