Previously talking about what to expect from the new album, drummer Matt Helders suggested fans wanting Arctic Monkeys to return to their old sound may be disappointed.

Speaking to Mike Dolbear for the DrumathonLive2022, he revealed: “It kinda like picks up where the other one [‘Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino’] left off musically,” he teased.

"I mean, it’s never gonna be like [2012 AM single] R U Mine? and all that stuff again, you know, the heavy riffs and stuff."

The record will follow 2018's Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino, which included the singles Four Out of Five and Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino.
