British Sea Power have been locking themselves away in a farmhouse to record their new album. They're working with producer Graham Sutton again, who also did the previous outing, Do You Like Rock Music.

Right now, the band has 15 songs in the works.

"We hand over bits of the jigsaw and Graham puts it together," said the band in a recent blog post on their web site.

The band has spent the past few months keeping busy by busking on The Great Wall of China, performing in Taiwan and Hong Kong, and playing “Man of Aran” at the Branchage Film Festival in New Jersey.
