Arctic Monkeys begin work on new album

Haven’t looked so good on the dance floor since Alex Turner and his clan of cold chimps took you though your Favourite Worst Nightmare over a year ago? Like Alex Turner’s solo record but just didn’t think you could two-step to it? Well, dust off your old post-punk dancing shoes (And seriously, get some new shoestrings. Don't make us have to tell you again.), because the Arctic Monkeys are back at it again.

At the Glastonbury Festival last weekend, Monkeys guitarist Jamie Cook told BBC 6Music his crew would start work on its new album sometime this month in Turner’s house in Sheffield.

Cook says the sound on this new record could go any direction. Which, considering he and his bandmates haven’t even started writing the songs yet, is probably for the best.
