Kraftwerk have confirmed plans to release a new studio album.
The German electronic outfit revealed that they have started work on a ninth collection, following their critically-lauded residency at London's Tate Modern earlier this year.
"Now this is done, one to eight," band member Ralf Hütter told The Guardian. "Now we can concentrate on number nine."
Asked if fans could expect the album soon, he replied: "Oh yes. Of course. It's music nonstop!"
Hütter talked about Kraftwerk's new-found freedom to tour the world due to the evolution of technology, compared to their early days of travelling with a hefty dismantled studio.
"Nowadays basically Kraftwerk is a space lab: we can land anywhere as long as we have the projectors and the screens," he said.
Kraftwerk will play a number of European festivals this summer, including Latitude and T In The Park in the UK.
