The Libertines on new album: 'We're all really proud of it'

The Libertines have opened up about their new album.

The reformed group have put the finishing touches to their first record since their 2004 self-titled effort.

Speaking to NME about the album - which is slated for a 2015 release - Pete Doherty said:

"There's a miracle aspect to actually getting it done and all getting together to do it.

"We're all really proud of it".

Bandmate Carl Barat added: "It’s staggering that we've got to the point where we've actually got an imminent release for the f*cking Libertines. Are you kidding me? Honestly, I’m still kind of pinching myself. Is this really going to happen? It’s mental, but I guess it is."

Bassist John Hassall meanwhile quipped: "We’ve gone progressive...No, don’t get scared. It’s still The Libertines, but it would be weird if we came back and just did exactly the same thing."
