    Arctic Monkeys To Go R'N'B On Third Album

    Arctic Monkeys producer James Ford has hinted that R'n'B might be one of the influences on the bands new album.

    Ford, who is producing the group's third LP, confirmed that the Arctic Monkeys had begun work on the follow-up to 2006's 'Favourite Worst Nightmare'.

    "It's too early to say what sort of direction they'll go in next," he said in an interview with the Daily Star.

    "But they've got at least one tune up their sleeves that sounds massive already.”

    "It's much more psychedelic than the first album (2006's 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not'). I wouldn't rule out a bit of R'n'B either – the boys know their stuff."

    As yet, it's unclear as to when the band plan to release the album.

    As previously reported on Gigwise, Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner will head out on his first UK tour with side-project The Last Shadow Puppets in the Autumn.

    • As long as it sounds nothing like The Last Shadow Puppets or Mark Ronson or Lily Allen or Kaiser Chiefs or any Brit School tripe, then i’ll keep my mind open to a change in direction from the boys.
