Christine wants to rejoin the band according to The Guardian

I'm afraid Louie that if Mitchell Froom is brought in to produce an entire album, you'll get an extension of the Extended Play EP. Froom has produced many fine albums for other artists in the past, but his approach is a bit prosaic for the Mac. If Lindsey doesn't produce the sessions, they need to engage the services of someone who properly understands the layered wall of sound that encapsulates the band at it's best (circa Tusk). I don't know if Dave Stewart is up to the task or not, but someone like Daniel Lanois might be a good fit. They can't afford to **** this one up.
