The next Arctic Monkeys album could be on its way sooner than you might think.
Tranquillity Base Hotel & Casino has only been out for three months and has had mixed reviews. NME described the album as “the Arctic Monkeys like you’ve never heard them before” and perhaps this is why fans seem to be divided on whether they rate the LP.
It might not be long, however, before fans have something new to sink their teeth into. When Alex Turner was asked about a potential follow-up album, he seemed keen to jump back in the studio.
“You know, again I don’t know, we’ve not quite reached a conclusion on what we’re gonna do, but I’d like to, yeah,” he said to Beat’s 1.
“Maybe just for the reason that I’ve really been enjoying playing this one on the road and that excitement of playing together could lead to jumping back in the studio. Whereas, like when we made this Tranquility Base one, that wasn’t coming off the back of a tour.
“I remember we nearly did [go back into the studio] after AM, there were a moment where we were just like, ‘Let’s go and do another thing and keep going!’ I’m glad we didn’t now but there was definitely an urge there to do that.”
