Having seemingly laid their I To Sky album to rest, JJ72 are recording four new songs with Clinic and Sigur Ros man Ken Thomas.

According to our studio spies, the tracks in question are 'Coming Home', 'Rainfalls', 'We'll Wait For You' and 'Everything' which was debuted at a semi-acoustic Belfast gig in May.

Other songs that are likely to make it onto their third LP are 'Nothing In This World' and 'Maria' which is described as "an instant radio-friendly singalong classic."

Whether it's an EP or a full album remains to be seen, but fans can definitely expect new product in January 2004, the first to feature Hilary Woods' replacement Sarah Fox.
