Kraftwerk are planning a new album, according to the bandmember Ralf Hutter.

Speaking during an interview with the New York Times, he confirmed that the Dusseldorf band have a project already under way.

“We didn’t fall asleep,” he said. “The 168-hour week is still going on since the beginning, since 1970.”

When asked when the new set might be ready, he simply replied: “Soon.”

The most influential electronic artists on the planet are currently in the midst of a series of shows at New York's Museum of Modern Art.

They play eight shows in all, each showcasing one of their albums accompanied by 3D visuals.

A multi-media exhibition on the band will run until May 14.
