Kings Of Leon are ready to begin initial work on a new album ‘within the next six months’ following a tempestuous end to their ‘Come Around Sundown‘ touring campaign, according to the band’s drummer Nathan Followill.
Speaking to MTV, Followill said the break which the band has enjoyed over recent months helped to heal some of the cracks which started to appear in the band towards the end of 2011, after frontman Caleb‘s erratic behaviour had eventually led to a US tour being cancelled, sparking rumours about the fragility of the four-piece’s future.
“Over the holidays, you break some bread, have some turkey, everyone makes up,” Followill has said. “I don’t think it was as big as people thought it was, but the press machine takes it and runs with it.”
“We’re going to spend the next few months getting that up and running; kind of make it our little clubhouse to get there and just kind of goof off whenever we want to. But, I’d say within the next six months, we’ll probably start kicking some stuff around.”
Both sonically and commercially, ‘Come Around Sundown’ continued Kings Of Leon’s move into the radio-friendly rock mainstream, and topped the charts in numerous countries around the world upon its release in October 2010.
