Simian Mobile Disco's James Ford has revealed that he has been signed up to work on Arctic Monkeys' forthcoming third album.
The producer, who also was behind the controls for the band's last album 'Favourite Worst Nightmare', explained that the LP was only in its very early stages of conception, but said that the results may sound more "psychedelic" than previous efforts.
"It's too early to say what sort of direction they'll go in next," he told 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."

The Last Shadow Puppets made their live debut tonight (March 4), playing an eight-song acoustic set in a Brooklyn record store. A line snaked around the block for the show, which saw the pair preview material from their forthcoming LP ‘The Age Of The Understatement’. Ezra Koenig and Rostam Batmanglij from Vampire Weekend were among the intimate crowd at the gig, which kicked off around 10.30pm (EST) in the back room of Williamsburg record store Soundfix. The show was a last-minute booking for Turner and Kane, who are spending a few days in New York to promote their album, scheduled to be released on April 21. “We’re here to promote our forthcoming extravaganza and we thought it would be nice to play for you folks, so thanks for coming down,” Turner told the audience. The pair appeared to enjoy the set, pleasantly bantering with the crowd and each other throughout, occasionally commenting on the incessant camera flashing from the audience. After a rendition of 'Calm Like You' Turner explained: "We’re fast running out here Miles, I’m worried it’ll be over too soon." However the pair still had three more songs left, wrapping up the acoustic set with ‘My Mistakes’, forthcoming single ‘The Age Of The Understatement’ and ‘Meeting Place’. The Last Shadow Puppets played: 'In My Room' 'Standing Next To Me' 'The Chamber' 'Only The Truth' 'Calm Like You' 'My Mistakes' 'The Age Of The Understatement' 'Meeting Place'

The frontman joins the newcomers at Shockwaves NME Awards Show Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner made a surprise appearance at the Shockwaves NME Awards show in London tonight (February 7). The frontman joined up with highly-rated newcomers The Rascals at the climax of their set at the Astoria. Taking the stage to join the Wirral trio on their final song, Turner's arrival was greeted by screams of delight from the crowd. "I want to introduce my mate Alex," Rascals frontman Miles Kane told the audience. "He is going to help us out with this one." Turner then played guitar and sung verses on The Rascals' track 'Is It Too Late?'. Earlier the trio had played a set showcasing their debut album - due out this summer. Despite battling the muddy sound, songs including 'Freakbeat Phantom', 'I'll Give You Sympathy' and last year's EP track 'Out Of Dreams' garnered cheers from the crowd. "The ending was one of the best endings ever of a gig," Kane told NME.COM after leaving the stage. "How did we get Alex along? Him and me have been doing press for three days (for their joint record) so I just said come and do this, and he did." Turner and Kane are set to release an album together in April.

Band set for Sheffield songwriting sessions
Arctic Monkeys are set to reconvene this month to begin writing their third album.
Speaking to BBC 6Music at the Glastonbury festival, guitarist Jamie Cook said that the work on the band's second album, 2007's 'Favourite Worst Nightmare' , would take place in the their hometown of Sheffield.
"We are gonna get our fingers out next month [July]," he said. [We'll] get back in his [Alex Turner, singer/guitarist] room in Sheffield and start writing some tunes."
When asked about what direction the band might take for the album,Cook was unsure.
"I don't know yet, we could go any way. I'm excited," he said. "[At the] end of last year when we had been touring for a long time, we just needed a bit of a rest. But we are eager to get back in."
He added that it would be good to get back together, after the changes in the bandmembers' lives over the last year.
"It's kind of weird," he explained. "Al's moved down to London now and we haven't seen each other for a bit. But we all keep on meeting up.
"[At] the end of last year we had seen each other constantly for four years. Sleeping on a bus and waking up next to each other, it was like, 'I do not want to see you for about... for a long time!' But then you are kind of weirdly missing each other."

Alex Turner Confirms New Arctic Monkeys Album in 2009

EmailArctic Monkeys' Alex Turner has revealed that the band plan to work on new material over the forthcoming summer to add to demos they have previously worked on.
The new songs will form the basis for the band's forthcoming third album, although the band do not have plans to release it this year. "We did a bit [writing and demo-ing] in January," Turner told BBC 6Music. "We had tunes that we'd already been playing on tour so we recorded them. That’s six [songs]. "We’re going to take it easy and start practising over the summer and doing new stuff. We did a little thing in January and it was almost tempting to go again ‘cos it was dead exciting but we thought, 'No, take it easier, chill out a bit and consider'.”
It's been exactly a year since the band released their acclaimed second LP 'Favourite Worst Nightmare'.
