The Streets explains split plans

Mike Skinner has explained why he plans for The Streets to split after their fifth album.

The singer revealed earlier this year that he wanted to halt recording under his Streets moniker afterwards two more LPs.

"The side by side album is the last album," he told NME. "I did a five-album deal and I don't think it would be right to be making Streets albums after that.

"I incessantly envisaged them as a box-set and I've got a visual sensation for each of the albums. The next unrivalled will bring it back up to the start in a way."

He continued: "It will be a lot more futurist in terms of production but a lot more train-of-thought. Maybe when I'm 40 and broke I might come back, but that all feels a bit pants."

The Streets' fourth LP Everything Is Borrowed is released next month.
