The Maccabees have admitted that they have not thought of names for many of the tracks on their upcoming album.

The Brighton indie band revealed, however, that their follow-up to Wall of Arms is "at the final stage".

Speaking to NME, guitarist Hugo White conceded: "Some of them don't have names, we're finding the names really difficult.

"You should never leave the names to last; you should do that early otherwise you get stuck!"

White added: "We're trying to finish mixing the record at the moment. It's at the final stage so it's all go."

Meanwhile, frontman Orlando Weeks said of the album's progress: "One song is finished. We'd happily play it to anybody but the other 11 are in various states of... undress."

Describing the sound of the LP, Weeks added: "I think this is a really different record - it's taken us nearly two years to get together. [But] I don't know how to describe it."
