Major Lazer's latest album isn't even out yet, but Diplo's dancehall-focused project have already set their sights on the follow-up. With Peace Is the Mission due out on June 1, they've announced that their next album will be called Music Is the Weapon.

Speaking with inthemix, band member Walshy Fire said, "For sure, we're gonna release another album. We already have a name for it, it's called Music is the Weapon, and it's gonna come out later this year or early next year for sure…. It'll have a few more club songs, a few more festival songs… but it'll be in the same spectrum, just super-well-written songs with really great production that the entire world can understand."

Judging by the title, we're assuming that Music Is the Weapon is some sort of a continuation of Peace Is the Mission. Stay tuned for more details about the album as they emerge.

Meanwhile, Major Lazer recently got their own cartoon series, so they've been extremely busy as of late.
