In an interview of Tania Davis by the Birmingham Mail, Davis revealed that they are currently working on their next studio album. She also noted that the next album will have Gypsy, Folk and Eastern European influences.[1] In late 2010, the band were performing material from their new album Play at concerts in Mexico, including the new single "Diablo".[2]

Bond has released their new album in Mexico and will be releasing it in Japan in late September. Currently Play does not have a US release date.

The following songs on the album include their first single "Diablo". The string quartet also showcases "Jai Ho", a huge hit from the movie Slumdog Millionaire. The album also features a few more recognizable hits. The song "Pump It" is a version of the Dick Dale and His Del Tones hit song Miserlou featured in the opening credits of Pulp Fiction. The song "Last Time" is an interpretation of the song "Bitter Sweet Symphony" by the band The Verve.
