Arctic Monkeys new album to be called "Humbug"

Straight in from the Domino Records website - the Arctonies' new album is to be called "Humbug" and the track listing will be as follows:
1. My Propeller
2. Crying Lightning
3. Dangerous Animals
4. Secret Door
5. Potion Approaching
6. Fire And The Thud
7. Cornerstone
8. Dance Little Liar
9. Pretty Visitors
10. The Jeweller’s Hands

Clash Music describe how, "Frontman Alex Turner, fresh from his expansive forays in The Last Shadow Puppets, has retained that laconic croon, while his bandmates extol the same Scott Walker influences in the music, injecting the Arctics with a new sound that sends them onto wild soundscaping adventures."

We All Want Someone to Shout For has posted some previews, and there are also some great demo tracks from Favourite Worst Nightmare on there.

The Guardian goes into some detail in analysing the meaning of the new album title.
Roll on 24th August!
