Duffy tells Vanyaland: "I don't think it will be like Born Into This - I think it'll be more guitar heavy. That was a 'guitar light' album for a lot of reasons I won't get into. It seemed a little guitar shy for a Cult album for my ears, but I'm biased."

While the guitarist says he and frontman Ian Astbury have some songs ready, it's still early days. He continues: "We've got completed songs, but there isn't really enough of a cross section of material to figure out what it's going to be like yet.

"I don't see it being a quantum departure - I don't think it's going to be too bonkers. For all I know, Ian wants to make an electro dub dance album."
