The Happy Mondays are working on a new album.Frontman Shaun Ryder says the Manchester band hope to release the record early next year.'Step On' singer Shaun says the band decided to make their sixth album because they had songs left over from a previous recording session. He told America's Billboard magazine: "It's sounding good."We had a few tracks left over from the last Mondays' album, 2007's 'Uncle Dysfunktional', so we thought that we might as well do another one."Shaun said the bad hope to release the album early next year, but admitted he wasn't certain of a definite release time, adding: "Knowing us, it'll probably come out in about two years time."I mean, the other one, we had that in the can for two years before that got released, because of legal problems. It took us eight or nine years to sort out all that. So we've now got ourselves a new set of legal problems, which will probably take another few years to sort out and then we can get this one out."
