Arctic Monkeys still touring the US with The Black Keys, sat down with Q and told them that though they haven’t made a conscious decision to make new music, they’ve started.
When asked about the progress of their impending 5th album, drummer Matt Helders replied:
“We don’t think about where and when we’re going to record, but I don’t think any of us have got their hearts set on having a year off, or anything like that. It doesn’t feel like that at the moment.”
He continued: “I think this tour ends 19 May and then we’ve got one festival in Atlantic City at the end of June, so that’s the last show we’re doing and then after that it’s up for grabs whether we go back in the studio or not. It’s not like we’ve written loads on tour, it’s some ideas and riffs flying around, things we’ve put together in soundchecks, but you don’t get much of a soundcheck when you’re a support band!”
Helders also revealed that the band had recorded one more new track as part of the sessions for ‘R U Mine?’ and ‘Electricity’, which singer Alex Turner recorded on his own.
