The Guardian: “Kraftwerk to release new album ‘soon’”:

Kraftwerk have revealed they are releasing a new album “soon”. As the German band finish their eight-night residency at New York’s Museum of Modern Art, frontman Ralf Hütter revealed they have almost finished their first LP since 2003′s Tour de France.

Hütter’s comment was almost an afterthought, slipped in at the end of an interview with the New York Times. “We didn’t fall asleep,” he said, referring to the group’s recording ventures. “The 168-hour week is still going on since the beginning, since 1970.”
