ABBA co-founder Björn Ulvaeus has hinted that the band could release a new album — 37 years after the release of their last, The Visitors.

The news comes as the Swedish group prepare to release their first songs in decades.

Speaking to A List he said: “A new album, possibly. Or four songs or something like that — that’s possible. But for us to perform on stage that’s just not going to happen. That’s a definite.”

Ulvaeus, 73, recently reunited with bandmates Agnetha Fältskog, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad to write and record new songs, one of which, I Still Have Faith In You, will debut on the BBC in December.

He said returning to the recording studio was a “wonderful” experience. “When we were all four in the studio that was amazing because we hadn’t been in a studio situation since the beginning of the Eighties,” he said. “We were standing there in these familiar surroundings and we looked at each other and it took 15 seconds and we were back.”

The foursome, who won the Eurovision Song Contest with Waterloo in 1974, sold 400 million singles and albums worldwide before their split in 1983.

Ulvaeus said London was “so incredibly important” to their success and is now launching Mamma Mia! The Party in the capital. The immersive theatrical and dining experience will see the O2 transformed into a Greek taverna as actors perform a spin-off story from the hit musical and film, which has been adapted by comedian Sandi Toksvig, who said she has made a “friend for life” in Ulvaeus.

“The fact that our songs work so well at parties is something I’ve heard over the years so I thought Mamma Mia! The Party was such a good idea,” Ulvaeus said. “It’s amazing and astonishing ... Back when we wrote those songs there were never any thoughts of them surviving one or two years.”

Asked if the band will make an appearance when the experience launches next summer, he said: “All four of us love London, so who knows.”
