The Cribs have revealed that they are considering making their next record a pop album.

The band revealed their future plans during a webchat with Gigwise readers on Wednesday (July 15).

Asked what their follow-up to 2009's 'Ignore the Ignorant' would sound like, singer Ryan Jarman said they were keen to record “in a completely different way again”.

His twin brother Gary admitted that he had been written a number of organ-led and acoustic tracks.

But said it was a pop direction that they were most interested in.

“Some part of use just wants to go really low-fi and just do things quite quickly and quite raw,” he said.

“But I've also been thinking that we should make just a real pop album, not just an indie-pop album – a really full on pop [album].”

Ryan added: “I just think the main thing is getting weird sounds. Guitar records of the last few years have just sounded very dull – sonically they've sounded very bland.”

The Cribs also spoke about their recent festival appearances and tour stories during the 30 minute discussion with fans.
