Elbow members Guy Garvey and Craig Potter are to produce the next studio album from I Am Kloot.

The pair, who also produced the Manchester band's 2001 debut, 'Natural History', are set to record the latest effort in Stockport over the coming months.

Garvey, who often plays the band's tracks on his BBC 6Music radio show, said listening to demos for the new record was “like being jostled by gentlemen thieves”.

“I looked down and my heart was gone, and my fucking wallet!” he added.

The album is due to be released before the start of 2010.
