Arctic Monkeys' hint at new album coming sooner than expected, plan to rope in Tame Impala's Kevin Parker
“Let’s float, Kev!” says frontman Alex Turner, talking about a possible collaboration with Tame Impala's Kevin Parker on Arctic Monkeys' next record.
Arctic Monkeys returned this year after a five-year gap with their sixth studio album, 'Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino'. As we noted in our review of the album, it was a brave, experimental and highly polarizing effort, with both fans and critics equally divided over the new direction the band decided to pursue. Now, three months after the album drop and after several tour dates in support of the album the genre-defining British alt-rockers have responded to the mixed reactions to the album in a new interview. During the interview, the band also said a follow-up effort could come far sooner than expected — and they wouldn’t mind doing it with the help of Kevin Parker, the brains behind Tame Impala.
