Kaiser Chiefs play by mail

Bad news: Kaiser Chiefs are writing a new album.

Good news: They've chosen a slow way to go about it:

Ricky Wilson said: "We're playing around at the moment.

"I'm sending him words and lyrics in the mail. He's sending me CD's in the mail. "We're actually utilising the Royal Mail quite a lot - it's quite nice because you find you're a little bit less embarrassed about what you send each other."

Yes, anything that makes you not have to look ashamed when you say "how about this time we just bellow 'Lucy' over and over again? Or 'Leslie'?" has to be embraced. And with the British postal service, there's every chance that the next Good Days Bad Days gets totally lost in the post.
