The album, the band's fifth studio record, will be released on September 9 and features 12 tracks including the new single 'Do I Wanna Know?'. The song 'Mad Sounds', first played at the Hultsfred festival in Sweden earlier this year, also appears alongside 2012 single 'R U Mine?'. Scroll down to see the full tracklisting for 'AM'.
Produced by James Ford, the album features appearances from Queens Of The Stone Age frontman Josh Homme plus former The Coral member Bill Ryder-Jones and Elvis Costello's drummer Pete Thomas. The words of punk poet John Cooper Clarke appear on the track 'I Wanna Be Yours'.
Arctic Monkeys headline Glastonbury festival this Friday (June 28), performing on the opening day of the festival on the Pyramid Stage. Drummer Matt Helders has said that the band plan to "have a bit of fun" with their setlist at the festival on what will be the second time that the band have headlined the Pyramid Stage, following their appearance in 2007. "I'm prepared for what it entails in way, but I think in terms of preparation we can mould a different kind of setlist for it and have a bit more fun with it," said Helders.
Exclusive B-side, '2013' will be released 22/7/13.
Hyped up as hell for this one!!
Judging by the two tracks that we’ve heard from it so far, this album is going to be Arctic Monkeys doing what they do best. Making tasty fucking tunes.
3*
Bring it on. Though I didn’t expect ‘R U Mine?’ to be in it, I guess it makes sense. They all did said this record was going in that direction… ‘Do I Wanna Know?’ is pretty good. His songwriting is exquisite as always, but I’m not blown away though.
I guess this is going to be a solid record, packed with classic rock’n roll tunes.
Actually, R U Mine featured on the lp makes me worry. It was clearly presented as a one-off when released? Makes me wonder if they’re lacking proper material to fill an album.
It was the inspiration of the entire sound/direction of the new album and very successful as a one-off single, so I don’t blame them for giving it a spot on an LP. Plus, there are 12 tracks on the album so it’s not like they’re skimping out on the amount of songs they’re putting out.
It was my initial reaction. You wouldn’t expect it from these guys that generally put out great records and have b-sides that rival some of the songs in the actual album. They generally don’t lack songs….one thing they are not is lazy. I just think they thought it worked having it there. It was the tune that started this new direction.
In-frieking-creadibly surprised for this one!! Never saw this coming.
It’s such a good year for music!!
I can’t decide if Alex Turner is a great lyricist, or a really crap one.
Can’t wait for this album, his collaberation with Josh Homme on …Like Clockwork was great.
That video is fucking magical.
I NEED THIS OK?????
The new album is going to be catchy as fuck.
They said they sent promos somewhere to be listened. Any leak?
The Track “2013” is apparently surfing around tumblr.

”2013” is seriously disappointing. I’m so glad it’ll only be on the B-side, and not on the actual album.
I want ‘Mad Sounds’ to leak. Its stuck in my brain….I need to chunk that one up my iPod and make love to it via repeat button.
music video for Why’d You Only Call Me When You’re High. God, it’s AWESOME!

music video for “why’d you…” is on youtube and it’s great! i post a link, but “your post is awaiting moderation” and it can take a while…
thanks!
Anyone know of anything else that’s been leaked recently? Other than ‘Do I Wanna Know?’ and ‘Why’d You Only Call Me When You’re High?’
sadly, nothing
EDIT:
there is ACOUSTIC live version of MAD SOUNDS on youtube, if anyone’s interested. just search for it
Ah, yeah I’ve heard ‘Mad Sounds’ on youtube too. I’m so impatient for this album haha!
so very very keen for this! the two tracks have been on repeat <3
New b-side, “Stop The World I Wanna Get Off With You”. I’m loving these song titles, I honestly do.
Where?
It’s not out yet, the band just released some info on the single
My god, this is the best album of the year 2013, with absolute certainty. For ex; I was expecting more from white lies, and from the band slut (two bands that I liked in the past), they disappointed me in a whole.
however, the two teaser album” why you’d only call me when you’re high” and ”do I wanna know”, show the superior quality of the album so far.
I look forward with high expectation, and I know it does not disappoint me this time.
two musics that are sexy as hell!
