Primal Scream are hoping to have a new record out in the next year.

"We've already been working on some new stuff and when we've finished this tour we're going to continue working on it and hopefully we should have a new Primal Scream record out by next summer or next autumn," Bobby Gillespie told 6 Music.

The band's epic Screamadelica tour continued at the weekend as they played both Bestival and the Berlin Festival.

With such a heavy schedule on the road it's hard to imagine how they found the time to record new tracks:

"We kind of found the time it's hard to explain how," Bobby explained.

"We spent six months working on the Screamadelica shows that we played last November, then we had a week here and a week there working on the new stuff."

The Primal Scream front man said they are in no rush to finish the new album:

"I want to take my time and get it right and so far we have got a lot of good stuff recorded we're very pleased with how it is has gone."

As to whether they will ever work with Andy Weatherall again, who produced Screamadelica, Bobby says "Never say never."
