Underworld in DJMag. Again.

[gaborez]

Underworld duo Karl Hyde and RIck Smith have set up a new band with composer Gabriel Yared. The as-yet-unnamed outfit will put our their first single by the end of the year.

"The new band will be like what we do with underworld but not so groove-heavy" explained Karl. "There will also be a lot of electronics, grand piano, acoustic guitar and vocals."

Karl and Rick met Gabriel when they were working on the score for new Hollywood movie 'Breaking and Entering' staring Jude Law and Juliet Binoche. In the past Gabriel has composed the scores for box office hits 'The Talented Mr Ripley' and 'Betty Blue'. Underworld are working on the band in line with their new download-only Riverrun Project, available through their www.underworldlive.com website.

"We are calming down our touring this year to focus on our new band," said Karl. "We're also planning separate projects with Brian Eno and Sven Vath."
