Ronson promises "eccentric" Chiefs LP

Mark Ronson has described the Kaiser Chiefs' new album as an "eccentric record".

The DJ, who co-produced the LP with Elliot James, said he was impressed by the band's approach to their third album.

"It's quite a bizarre, eccentric record for such a huge rock band, that's so mainstream, to make - in a good way," he told the BBC.

"It's got some elements of Talking Heads and Tom Tom Club and Go Gos and The Move and ELR."

He added: "I'm just really excited about that record. It's great and it's something we kind of did quickly.

"They wrote some amazing songs and me and Elliot James, who produced the record with me, were here to just make sure it sounded raw."

Tracks expected to feature on the currently-untitled LP include 'Never Miss A Beat', 'You Want History', 'Half The Truth' and 'Cant Say What I Mean'.

The follow-up to 2007's Yours Truly, Angry Mob is scheduled for release in October.
