The second album from Friendly Fires will have a samba sound.
Friendly Fires' second album has been inspired by samba music, it has been reported.
Speaking to BBC 6 Music, Ed MacFarlane, frontman of the indie-disco act, revealed that the band intends to write the album over the festival months.
He explained: "It's kind of that samba, calypso vibe that's been pushed further."
MacFarlane said that the group has been experimenting with the South American sound recently and is moving away from disco-inspired music.
The singer also revealed that a taster single, featuring the new style, will be released in August.
Commenting on the upcoming track, MacFarlane told the broadcaster: "It's a progression from [Friendly Fires' single] Jump in the Pool. It's really Brazilian."
The frontman added that the track will not feature any conventional 4/4 drum beats, instead making use of "all traditional samba rhythms".
Recently, Snow Patrol frontman Gary Lightbody told BBC Radio 1's Newsbeat that he is working on two solo side projects - an abstract album called Listen Tank and a country-inspired record.
