White Lies are hoping to delve into more experimental realms with their second album.

Bassist Charles Cave says they've set aside a two month window in their schedule to begin work on the long-player and they're feeling the pressure.

However, they're not thinking about even writing until their European tour ends in February.

Cave told BBC6music: "There's almost so much pressure that you just have to forget about the whole thing and just have loads of fun.

“At the end of the day, we are in a fantastic position. The first album has done well enough that it enables us to be a bit more experimental, and do what we want really, and see where a whole year and half's worth of new music and influences come in to effect."
