Arctic Monkeys to start work on new record this summer


Alex Turner reveals third album plans

Arctic Monkeys' Alex Turner has revealed that the band plan to work on new material over the forthcoming summer to add to demos they have previously worked on.

The new songs will form the basis for the band's forthcoming third album, although the band do not have plans to release it this year.

"We did a bit [writing and demo-ing] in January," Turner told BBC 6Music. "We had tunes that we'd already been playing on tour so we recorded them. That’s six [songs].

"We’re going to take it easy and start practising over the summer and doing new stuff. We did a little thing in January and it was almost tempting to go again ‘cos it was dead exciting but we thought, 'No, take it easier, chill out a bit and consider'.”

It's been exactly a year since the band released their acclaimed second LP 'Favourite Worst Nightmare'.

good. the sooner they release it the sooner they can fuck off.

third albums haven't been lucky for this decade's hype bands.

the strokes and interpol for example. their debuts recieved obscene amounts of hype, the follow-ups recieved some spillover hype, but third time out people were ready to admit they were never that good to start with.

i sort of hope yeah yeah yeahs can prove an exception, but they probably won't.

the strokes pretty much sucked after the first album, all of interpols records are good the last being a total grower.

as for yeah yeah yeahs...i don't think that they can be redeemed now, show your bones blew chunks.
