Arctic Monkeys Reveal Third Album Plans, Yay

Alex Turner is turning out to be one wickedly creative songwriter. Just days after the release of his project with Miles Kane (of The Rascals), The Last Shadow Puppets, the Arctic Monkeys frontman has revealed that the band will begin work on their third album in the coming summer months.

In an interview with BBC 6Music Turner said “”We did a bit [writing and demo-ing] in January. We had tunes that we’d already been playing on tour so we recorded them. Thatâ??s six [songs]”

“Weâ??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 â??cos it was dead exciting but we thought, ‘No, take it easier, chill out a bit and consider’.â?

Both Monkeys previous releases were much acclaimed, and given the amount of work Turner’s been doing, we’re inclined to wait a while.

PS. Last Shadow Puppets review coming soon.
