With their North American tour set to kick off tomorrow, the Arctic Monkeys have revealed plans to begin work on a new album following the jaunt.
The band recently dropped by NME Radio and announced plans to begin work on the follow-up to 2009’s ‘Humbug‘ later this year.
“We’ve said we’ll stop touring this album and we’re eager to start working on new stuff again, not have time off again,” revealed drummer Matt Helders.
Frontman Alex Turner also revealed that he has already begun writing possible material for the new album.
“There’s a few things we’ve been playing around together and we’ve spoke about how we might go about it,” said Turner.
Asked as to whether they would be bringing in Queens of the Stone Age’s Josh Homme to produced the album (or a few tracks on it), like he did for several track on ‘Humbug‘, Helders said, “It’s hard to say, both parties are up for it but they have a lot going on around the time we’d need to be recording.”
The boys are set to kick off their North American tour tomorrow night in Miami Beach, FL.
