He might do a slide on a keyboard on one of his demos, I’ll get the gist of what he wants me to do and redo it all, and then he’ll say, ‘I really miss my slide!’ So, I say, ‘Put it back then!’. “Sometimes he suggests stuff and asks me to adapt it – I’m not precious. He adds: “I’m not always sure what all the influences are because on a lot of the tracks Chris puts an infectious rhythm together – he likes playing bass and he also plays drums, guitar and keyboards. It’s got a lot of different grooves, but most of them are quite immediate.” “That’s the great thing about a lot of this album – it’s either head-nodding or dancey. “A lot of our past stuff was influenced by the ‘70s, but Chris wanted to get back to some ‘60s stuff – good grooves that were danceable,” explains Talbot, speaking to Say It With Garage Flowers.

The 53-year-old singer has revealed the band are heading into the studio this summer to start recording their 11th studio LP. Suggs has revealed he is working on songs for a new Madness album which the band plans to release by the end of 2014.
