Sparklehorse working with Steve Albini on new album

Sparklehorse are busy preparing their next studio album and this time they'll be collaborating with Steve Albini, which should make for an interesting sounding record. In one interview from 2009, Linkous stated his wish that the next Sparklehorse album sound like the songs were "coming out of a satellite that's crashing into a gas giant or something". Clearly, this is Albini's forte. The last official Sparklehorse album (not including collaborations with Fennesz and Danger Mouse last year) was 2006's slightly underwhelming 'Dreamt For Light Years In The Belly Of A Mountain'. Anyway, all of this Sparklehorse chat has made me desperately want to dig this out...........'Every hair on your head is counted......'
