Uh oh oh uh oh oh...

The Futureheads have put the final touches to their second album, and have announced that it'll be released through 679 on July 12th.

The four-piece have spent the last five or so weeks in a studio in Scarborough with Ben Hillier (credits include Blur and Doves), and now have 14 songs ready. Titles - and these are all working titles until confirmed - include 'Munich', 'Worry', 'Cope', 'Yes/No' and 'Faith'.

The word is that the album is different in sound to the a cappella stylings of their self-titled debut.

The date can't be right...

...the 12th is a Wednesday.
I suspect that the SOURCE of this news is WRONG.

According to the poster I'm currently facing

The debut did come out on the 12th of July...

odds

2-1 this album is disappointing but still gets good reviews all round and people use cliches like "more mature" and "a step forward" and "come back stronger than ever"

8-1 this album is totally rubbish

25-1 this album is better than the first

1000-1 this album doesn't contain at least one ohhhh ohhhh ohhhh WOOOOOAH moment
