No Arctic Monkeys didn’t release a messed up Xmas Album but they did release a new full length.

Arctic Monkeys official released their 3rd full length today titled Humbug.

The latest album was recorded with the Queens Of The Stone Age front man, Josh Homme, at his studio, Rancho De La Luna, in the Californian desert


Alex Turner of the band had this to say about the writing process for Humbug:

Don't miss a beat with our FREE daily newsletter


"I'm kind of more comfortable writing now or even spending time sitting and working on something where I always kind of attached the idea that whatever magic was there would dissolve or evaporate if you spent too much time working on something. I think I'm over that idea. I quite like to sit and craft something now for a little bit longer."


Track listing for Humbug:


1. My Propeller

2. Crying Lightning

3. Dangerous Animals

4. Secret Door

5. Potion Approaching

6. Fire and the Thud

7. Cornerstone

8. Dance Little Liar

9. Pretty Visitors

10. The Jeweller's Hands


Arctic Monkeys previous release, Favourite Worst Nightmare, proves they weren't a one hit dance wonder. Their maturity in their music was shown at the shows they did in January around our country. Its expected that the same attitude will be shown on Humbug.
