Ronson producing new Kaiser Chiefs album

Mark Ronson will produce the new Kaiser Chiefs album, reports Xfm.

A source told the radio station that the Brit award-winning producer will collaborate with the band on their follow-up to 2007's Yours Truly, Angry Mob.

Ronson claimed earlier today that he might be producing "a big band" soon but noted "they haven’t fully hired me yet and I don’t want to jinx it".

Nick Hodgson, drummer and songwriter for the Kaisers, said: "We've got a load of new songs ready for the new album - we're busy playing them, rehearsing them and writing a load more.

"There's a big difference between these songs and our old stuff. It's definitely worth people getting excited about hearing these as they are gonna be so different.

"There's one tune that we did on the last tour called 'Never Miss A Beat' which has the potential to be huge."

The band's frontman Ricky Wilson admitted he was getting tired with playing the same songs over and over.

"It gets out of hand for a band when you've made a couple of albums.

"You make an album then you're supposed to go around the world for two years promoting it - boring."
