Arctic Monkeys have revealed the release date, title and tracklisting for their next album, whilst fellow British artist Lily Allen has shared a release window for her long awaited third studio album.
Sheffield rockers Arctic Monkeys have announced the title of their fifth studio album, AM (possibly a nod to Beady Eye’s recent effort, BE), due to release on September 9.
The 12 track album includes arguably one of the best songs of 2012, “R U Mine?”, in addition to current single “Do I Wanna Know?” which is a classic sounding Arctic Monkeys track with a slight blues-rock twist.
According to NME, AM features appearances from Queens of the Stone Age singer Josh Homme, plus ex-Coral guitarist Bill Ryder-Jones.
AM is available to pre-order, including as a limited deluxe LP, here.

Allen has been taking a break from the music industry following the birth of her two daughters. The 2014 release will be her first album since 2009’s It’s Not Me, It’s You.
