Speaking to Radio 1's Newbeat, Mylo has described his second album as sounding like "Abba in Space".
"It was so weird seeing the last album have a life of its own after it was released." he said. "I don't want to do something completely indulgent now that no-one relates to apart from me.But I don't feel any desire to make the record any more commercial than I want to either."
Bollywood is said to be a key influence on his long-awaited second opus, rather than the '80s vibes of Destroy Rock & Roll "I've really moved away from using samples as I've done that. So it's a bit less pop, a bit more like spacey bleeps. Bollywood disco has been my main discovery of the summer. I ordered a whole lot of soundtrack albums from a shop in Brick Lane," he said. "They've got no respect for copyright of any kind so you have the melody for I Feel Love, then it will turn into Abba, then it will turn into Video Killed The Radio Star, it's brilliant. I don't know if anyone else is going to be feeling it, but I really like it."
He's taken a laidback approach to making the new album, having created up to 60 new tracks - but not finished many of them. "The album should be done by October, but then there's always this annoying gap where you have to wait for it to come out, so it will probably be next year. Which is annoying as it's always nice to release in an Olympic year."
He's also managed to squeeze in remixes for Kylie, Killers, and Scissor Sisters "I don't really know how I actually managed to do those, it was such a hectic time." he recalls.
"I think most of them I stayed up all night. Some producers give away a lot of their best stuff on remixes and then run out of stuff for themselves. I might dip my toe back in it. I was going to do one for Franz Ferdinand that fell through so I'd like to do them. And someone with amazing vocals like Goldfrapp would be really exciting."
