Beastie Boys Recording 'Bizarre' New Album

Beastie Boys are recording a “bizarre” new record, the band's bassist Adam MCA Yaunch has revealed.

Yaunch said the group's eight studio record, tentatively entitled 'Tadlock's Glasses', was weeks from competition.

"It's a combination of playing and sampling stuff as we're playing, and also sampling pretty obscure records," he told BBC Five Live.

"We're tweaking some mixes and we're going to master it in the next couple of weeks," he explained.

"There are a lot of songs on the record and there are a lot of short songs and they kind of all run into each other."

The band, whose last album 'The Mix-Up' was largely instrumental, are expected to tour this summer.
