Starsailor frontman James Walsh muses over his new album due for release next year.

Walsh said: "Usually we deliver the album really quickly, and then we sit around and think, maybe we could have made the album better.

He adds: "With this one, we just can't let go of it. We need it to be released and be taken off our hands. We have stopped messing with it, it is pretty good."

The album will be the follow-up to their third album On the Outside released in 2005.

The band shot to fame in the early 2000s with the songs Good Souls, Silence Is Easy and a Van Morrison cover The Way Young Lovers Do.

During their career, they have supported such acts like The Doves and Manic Street Preachers.

They have also played at numerous music festivals including V, Glastonbury and T In The Park.
