Kings of Leon remix album announced

Kings of Leon have reportedly announced a forthcoming remix album based on music from their back catalogue.

In an interview with Billboard, drummer Nathan Followill revealed that the 'Use Somebody' rocker's material will be remixed by a host of artists for a new LP.

Followill explained that the record came about after he heard that Justin Timberlake and Pharrell had previously reworked some of the band's songs.

"It's neat to have these people who we would've jumped at the chance to work with ourselves... coming to us before we even get a chance to ask them," he said.

"It's amazing to hear your song played by these people who are so creative. Most of the time it takes me two or three listens to even wrap my head around, 'Oh man, that's our song'."

Among the names thought to be lined up for the project are Lykke Li, Mark Ronson and Kenna.

Followill also hinted that the group would like to be more adventurous on their next album, saying: "There's stuff that sounds like Radiohead. There's stuff that sounds like Thin Lizzy. There's stuff that sounds like The Band."
