“I think I can see there being something,” Alex Turner tells NME as the Arctic Monkeys frontman looks ahead to the band’s next studio album.
“I can sort of imagine what it might be,” he continues. “I could see it when the record was finished. We’d met the deadline, but the thing was still sort of snowballing a little bit, and for that reason, we could still find ourselves walking into another one.”
After nods, winks and nudges on each of their previous four albums, the Sheffield band fully realised a winning blend of Seventies rock and hip hop influence on their 2013 LP ‘AM‘ and continue to reap the benefits; early 2014 will see them return to the US for a prestigious date at Madison Square Garden in New York among other headline shows.
“The songs aren’t there, it’s just an idea of mine,” Turner continues on a possible ‘AM’ follow-up. “But that’s usually how it works: this time the idea definitely led the whole procession, rather than the songs themselves.”
