Arctic Monkeys have opened up about their forthcoming new album ‘AM’, and the sound they went for while creating it.
The Sheffield outfit announced a brand new record and tour earlier this year and, having smashed out a headline performance at Glastonbury last month, they’re now set for US and UK live ventures - as well as the release of ‘AM’ on September 9.
Ahead of it hitting shelves, frontman Alex Turner has talked about the album to NME:
“It sounds like a Dr Dre beat, but we've given it an Ike Turner bowl-cut and sent it galloping across the desert on a Stratocaster. [We wanted to make it] sound less like four lads playing in a room this time. Essentially, that's what it is, but if you can find a way to manipulate the instruments or the sounds to the point where it sounds a bit like a hip-hop beat that'd be boss in your car, then I think there's something quite cool about that.”
