Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme has confirmed that he is to produce material for the Arcitic Monkeys.
Homme said the Sheffield band would travel to the Californian dessert next month to “submerge themselves in something else and do some tracks.”
“That’s the sort of pressure-free ‘Lets do something cool’ environment that really pays musical dividends at the end,” the singer told the BBC.
“They’re a talented bunch of guys, its gonna be a lot of fun.”
It’s not clear whether the tracks will feature on the Arctic Monkeys as-yet-untitled third album.
As previously reported on Gigwise, the band have already demoed a series songs for the album, and have previously hinted that Simian Mobile Disco man James Ford would produce the record.
Queens of the Stones Age performed at the Reading Festival last Friday. For full coverage from the event, CLICK HERE.
