Alex Turner Goes Spoken Word For Matt Helders

Alex Turner must own multiple PDAs. The ultra-productive Arctic Monkeys frontman is set to release a recording of him reading an original short story (no, not ‘When The Sun Goes Down’) titled ‘The Choice of Three’. The recording will be released on October 13.

With The Last Shadow Puppets on tour and the Monkeys heading to the desert to record their next album, Turner’s somehow found time to record the short story for Monkeys drummer Matt Helders’ compilation project Late Night Tales.

Turner’s spoken word piece will be the last track on the compilation. The story begins

In the tunnel I noticed I had a choice of three. While I thought it very kind of them to offer me this I do wonder if they realised what a dilemma they were sending to face me. The trouble was if I looked at your reflection in the left window I missed the actual image of you and your reflection in the right, and if I looked at the right I had the same problem the other way around.
