Back in November, she revealed that she’s enlisted Echo & The Bunnymen’s Will Sargent for the new album, but not the “rude” PJ Harvey.Now, Love has shed more light on the impending project – which has yet to be officially announced and has yet to receive a release date.

On Tuesday (March 4), Courtney Love was present at London’s Royal Geographical Society where she had an on-stage conversation with actor-writer Todd Almond, who was celebrating the release of his new oral history collection, Slow Train Coming: Bob Dylan’s ‘Girl From the North Country’ and Broadway’s Rebirth.At the event, Love spoke about her forthcoming album, which she says – per trusty Courtney Love fan account fkyeahcourtneylove and Stereogum – has been in the works since 2009.

Besides Sargent, the album will also feature her ex-Hole bandmate Melissa Auf Der Maur. Once work on the album is done, Love says she’ll return to touring.Though she’s emphasised that Hole will not be reuniting, she’s added Auf Der Maur will be touring with Courtney in support of the album.A post shared by Fk Yeah, Courtney Love.
