Speaking to NME last month, Liam Howlett revealed that he was writing new material for the band, inspired by their return to touring.
“The ideas flow more when we are right in it, touring,” he said. “Playing live fuels the music for me. It’s always been that way. If I have too much time off, I start getting distracted and wandering off course. I like to keep it on edge and moving.
“We have owned our own sound since the start, so we ain’t about to change. It’s all about writing bigger tunes and finding different ways to sonically attack the crowd when we play live.”
