Mastodon's Bill Kelliher : We will go for a darker pop sound on the follow-up.

Mastodon's Bill Kelliher has been interviewed by Morgan Richards.In this interview he say that the new album will be as 'poppy' the previous 'Once More Around The Sun' but it will have some darker pop sounds.Furthermore Bill said in the interview:

"What I can tell you is it definitely sounds like Mastodon and there are peaks and valleys of one extreme to the other.
"A lot of the things that I wrote sound like Once More 'Round The Sun, but even delving deeper into all those nooks and crannies or progression and a lot of catchy choruses and melodic verses, but not so much like The Motherload – that's pretty poppy for us, probably as poppy as we'd ever be sounding.
"It's not quite in that direction. It's hard to say 'dark' and 'pop' at the same time, but, when something pops and it really speaks to you and it's catchy, like something you wanna hear again.
"A lot of the songs that I've written for this record are like that. They need to come back to the chorus to bring back that same good feeling you got in the beginning. That's just me. I like to tie everything up nice and neatly most of the time."
