New York band The Bravery have gone into the studio to start work on their next record.

The five-piece are currently involved in recording sessions in a studio in Atlanta, Georgia, and have chosen veteran producer Brendan O'Brien to work with them.

Lead singer Sam Endicott has revealed that many of the songs for the new album have already been written, after overcoming the difficulties of remaining creative on the road.

He told NME: "I wrote a lot on the Depeche Mode tour. At first it was really hard, but I got used to it. You're just crammed into a corner of the bus with a coat over the amp between two people who are trying to sleep."

Discussing the choice of producer for the band's second release, the frontman added: "He's the champion of rock producers. He's a personal hero of ours. Initially, I was going to do it myself but he's done Rage Against The Machine and Bruce Springsteen, and you can't f*** with that."

Talking about the overall sound they anticipate for the album, Endicott asserted that there will be a noticeable difference compared with their previous self-titled record.

"It's pretty different across the board, more eclectic. There's dance, rock and slow songs. It's more organic, less synthetic, with more acoustic instruments. We're all better musicians now and we play better together," he said.
