You know when you wait an age for a follow-up album to an earth-shattering debut, praying to the great turntable in the sky that it’s as good as the first one?

Then you hear it, and your wish is granted. It is as good. In fact, it’s exactly the same as the first album. Oh well. That was forty minutes of your life you’ll never see again.

With that in mind – good news for Bon Iver fans. Your wish has been ignored.

Elbow frontman Guy Garvey has told the Daily Mirror newspaper the band are already entering the early stages of the follow up to ‘Build a Rocket Boys!‘, and are using a different recording technique this time round.

Garvey told the paper drummer Richard Jupp has laid down a few patterns to begin the writing process, which he will now look to build the tracks around.
