Stone Temple Pilots will hole up in a house on the California Coast in January to ready material for a double album, which Scott Weiland says will mean double the debauchery.

"We found a beautiful house in Malibu," the singer told VH1 Radio recently. "It's an old Spanish house. We are going to live there, sleep naked there, have massive band orgies there, write the best music we have ever written and record a double album." STP already have a batch of new material in the can, written mostly during downtime on the road. The group will work again with longtime producer Brendan O'Brien on the as-yet-untitled double album, due in the spring or early summer.

O'Brien has produced all of STP's releases: Core (1992), Purple (1994), Tiny Music ... Songs From the Vatican Gift Shop (1996) and No. 4 (1999).

Stone Temple Pilots had considered making No. 4 a double album, but they were unable to because of Weiland's drug-related incarceration. He was released in late December.
