Arctic Monkeys plot new album 2006-09-13 by mx STAFF | 7 Comments | NME - Arctic Monkeys hope to have the follow-up to their all-conquering debut album out at the beginning of next year.
The band reveal in this week's NME that they have the majority of the follow-up to "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not" is written, and are about to go in the studio to commence work on it.
UK live shows are also expected before the end of the year.
Frontman Alex Turner said: "We'll do a few gigs in December, but we're going to start rehearsing on Friday (8th, last week) for the new record and we're going in next month to do some recording."
When asked how many songs he had written for it, Turner revealed: "About 13 or 14 songs, but it's in different states. It might be just an idea, it might be something I've done with someone played on acoustics and some of them we all know it already, all the arrangements and shit like that."
When asked if their target release date of January was still possible, drummer Matt Helders admitted: "It will probably be a bit later, but you never know. I think from our point of view we could have it ready for then."

I hope they have some kickass basslines like last time, but that'll be hard to come upon since their bassist left. Regardless, I'm pumped for this.

I'm pretty stoked about it possibly being released in January.

Yeh, they don't mess about these lads, they've always said in interviews that they don't like to live off of old records.

Why have more people not commented on this? It's rather great news, considering their debut was awesome.

Wow an article where a realistic number of songs written was revealed. I was expecting him to say he'd written 500 songs for the new album! ...Never really been able to get into the Artic Monkeys though...I remember I liked one song but can't remember the name it had a slower beginning.
