Arctic Monkeys Confirm 2013 Album Release Goal, PeteHatesMusic Jumps for Joy

British rockers Arctic Monkeys have waited two long years since releasing their last album, Suck It And See. When chatting with BBC Newsbeat, drummer Matt Helders noted, “Hopefully we’ll get it out this year – that’s the plan. We’ve just been working stuff out with the band. Nothing serious yet. It’s just been us four working stuff out like we used to I guess. We had a bit of a break. It’s always weird when you first get back into it to know what kind of songs we write any more” (via Gigwise).

More songs like R U Mine? will do just fine, lads.

Check it out, and if your brain survives, consider switching to Virgin Mobile.
