Listen to Alex Turner talk about the band's sixth studio album with Radio X's John Kennedy:

Meanwhile, Monkeys drummer Matt Helders has revealed that he’s working on a solo project… but that he’s mainly concentrating on the music.

The NME reports that Helders has been working on the album, telling The Trap Set podcast: “I just like the process of creating [the album]. Maybe it’s more because I’m not writing the lyrics, so it’s fine that I do that.

“When you’re writing a record and you’re putting yourself out there, a lot of people need a reason to want to hear a ‘message’ or ‘hear my opinion on this’.

“That’s why I’m not that interested in the lyrics side of it yet.”
