Arctic Monkeys Third Album Out This Year?

Arctic Monkeys plan to release their third album this year, according to the Daily Star.

A source told the paper: "A lot of people were surprised to see Arctics at the Brits as it's usually the kind of event they steer clear of. The reason they went is because they've been down in London working on new material and fancied a night off to relax. Alex is overflowing with song ideas and it's all going so well they're looking at releasing an album this year."

If the news is correct, it will mean Arctic Monkeys will have released three albums in as many years. Their last long-player was 2007's Favourite Worst Nightmare.

Before the third album is completed, fans will have an affiliated release to look forward to next month on April 21st, when front man Alex Turner and Miles Kane of The Rascals release their debut album as The Last Shadow Puppets.
