It was then hinted in January on the duo's blog that a new record was forthcoming, and these new live announcements will surely stoke the rumours more... that and the fact that they spent two weeks in Miloco's Engine Room in the Autumn...

Arctic Monkeys earn praise from poet Carole Ann Duffy | |||
 |
Arctic Monkeys have been compared to the likes of Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan by the famous Scottish
poet, Carole Ann Duffy, who has been admiring Alex Turner's ability to bridge the gap between pop and poetry.
Talking to The Press Association before the Poetry Live for Haiti benefit in Westminster, Duffy said "Leonard Cohen's songs are poems, I saw him twice when he was touring here last year, Bob Dylan writes poems and the Arctic Monkeys write poems. They are great lyric writers." Speaking of Philanthropy, Alex Turner has also recently given away the White Fender Strat he used in the band's very first video, to an online auction setup by Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis and Oxfam, to raise money for the charity. Arctic Monkeys recorded their second album, Favourite Worst Nightmare, at Miloco's Garden studio in 2006 with producers Mike Crossey and James Ford. www.arcticmonkeys.com |
