Mumford & Sons have let it slip about who is producing Arcade Fire's much anticipated third album.

The folksters confirmed in an interview with BBC6music that the producer of their record 'Sigh No More', Markus Dravs, is taking the helm on Arcade Fire's latest effort, due in 2010.

Double bassist Ted Dwane said: "I don’t know if I’m aloud to say this but yeah, he’s working on the next Arcade Fire record at the moment. Boom there it is!"

Frontman Marcus Mumford then added: "There it is, dropped, 6 Music exclusive. I’m sure that’s public knowledge, because he’s been there for about six months."

Dravs has worked with artists including Bjork, Brian Eno, Coldplay and James.
