STP aim to have a brand new album out this summer and Robert DeLeo has had a few words to say about what we can expect from the album.

Stone Temple Pilots will release their first new album since 2001’s ‘Shangri-La Dee Da’ this year and Spin recently caught up with bassist Robert DeLeo to talk about what we can expect from the album.

“Fans are going get a great STP record,” says Robert DeLeo. “We know what STP sounds like — we have a sonic blueprint. It’s always worked for me to put myself in the ears of the listener. I ask myself, “What kind of STP record would I want to hear?” The answer is a really cohesive record with songs that are going to be lasting. Fans don’t necessarily want to hear songs from me being the best person I can be. Those songs are for a solo record. STP fans don’t want that side of me. This band is attractive because we bring it to the edge of a cliff and write songs that have attitude.”
