Biffy Clyro have spoke about their "mighty" forthcoming double disc album.
The band, who are currently working on the anticipated follow-up to 2009's "Only Revolutions", said the the album will feature 20 songs - 10 on each disc.
In an interview with Radio 1's Zane Lowe frontman Simon Neil said: "It sounds dangerous when you say it out loud but we're trying to explore writing songs in a different manner."
He added: "
We're not going to throw every song we've ever done on it - it's not that kind of double album.
"It'd be a bit much to just bang out 20 rock songs."
"There are a couple of songs that are written entirely on keyboards, string sounds, and I guess Phil Collins-type electro beats behind it.
"We're just investigating and experimenting with what we feel comfortable doing. We haven't got any reggae songs or dubstep - that's not going to appear on the new one, but there's a song that's a bit mariachi, which is going to be beautiful."
The band have yet to announce details of a release date for their as-yet-untitled new album.
Meanwhile, Biffy Clyro have among the acts confirmed for this year's Isle Of Wight festival.
