THE HIVES TEAM UP WITH PHARRELL

Swedish rockers THE HIVES are taking their music in a new direction for their next album - they've teamed up with rap producer PHARRELL WILLIAMS.

THE HIVES

Williams, one half of production duo The Neptunes, is known for his work with rappers Jay-Z, Busta Rhymes and Snoop Dogg, but has also worked with pop stars Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake.

And the Walk Idiot Walk stars hope their collaborations for their follow up to 2004's Tyrannosaurus Hives will match the success of William's previous ventures.

In a statement, frontman Howlin Pelle says, "This new album has been recorded all over the world because we thought it was time to have other people involved besides ourselves and our closest friends.

"The lion's share of this new album was recorded in Mississippi with producer Dennis Herring. We also met producer Pharrell Williams in Japan a while ago.

"He told us: 'We should record together,' and 'something bass guitar based.' We ended up spending some time in Miami making music with him. Some of his music will end up on The Hives' new record."
