Overview
ARCTIC MONKEYS got really weird and trippy on their new album, according to producer Josh Homme.
The Queens of the Stone Age frontman, who co-produced the Sheffield rockers' upcoming LP Humbug, said the four-piece "get weird" on their third offering.
Speaking to US GQ magazine, he said: "This is the record where they get weird, grow up and trip out."
When asked why he decided to join them in the studio, he added: "I was sucked in at first by the lyrics. Alex sounded like a rare poet playing music - he has a special gift for the gab."
He also said drummer Matt Helders as "one of the best" in rock 'n' roll.
Humbug is released on August 24 and the first single from it, Crying Lightning is available to download now.
