The Noisettes have warned fans and critics alike they will be "shocked" by their new album.

The three-piece spent over two years making debut ‘What’s The Time Mr. Wolf?’ but claim their follow up, which they are currently writing, will mark a radical departure.

Guitarist Dan Smith writes on Myspace, "Currently, we're truly a band now. We are writing songs for our next album and we are quite far down the line.

"Anyone who had us written off as a garage rock buzz band on our first album - I hope those people will be shocked when they hear our new album."

Dan also confrism they have cancelled their gig at London Dingwalls on 4 September as it clashes with the Mercury Music Awards show.
