Mike Skinner has delayed the new Streets album after admitting he is feeling the pressure of recording as a big name artist.
Skinner says the record will not now see the light of day until 2008 after he takes a break from recording to play several live dates.
He wrote on his Myspace blog: "Making an album when you're quite well known is a bit stressful. I've had to accept this week that because my album isn't quite right yet it won't be coming out this year.
"I think I've got the makings of a great record, but I've been working so hard on it my head is spinning at the end of every day and when I wake up each morning the first thing I feel is panic.
"I've decided to try to get some distance from it while we do this Scotland tour, Get Loaded (In The Park) and Ibiza.
“This also means I'll maintain my tidy pattern of releasing an album in 2002, 2004, 2006 and, now, 2008."

- that’s cool mike...do what you please. You’ve earned it. I hope the new album is some complicated, intertwined story like ”A Grand Don’t Come for Free”. That disc was amazing.
- Mike is a legend. All albums were great but Grand dont come for free was unique and breath-taking.
Looking forward to it :)
- GwaaaN Sonn !!!!
- when when when when????????
- hope that will be like the original pirate material one, that was truly the best for me, but the others aint bad at all, cmon mike
