Arctic Monkeys have finally spoken of plans to release their long-awaited fifth studio album - and it might even be with us before the end of 2013.
The record would be the follow-up to 2011's Suck It and See and, while the band haven't yet recorded anything specifically for the album, they're "definitely happy" with the way things are going so far.
Speaking to BBC Newsbeat, drummer Matt Helders said, "Hopefully we'll get it out this year - that's the plan. We've just been working stuff out with the band. Nothing serious yet.
"It's just been us four working stuff out like we used to I guess. We had a bit of a break. It's always weird when you first get back into it to know what kind of songs we write any more."
So, as we gear up for round five of the Arctic Monkeys, check out the facts on their new album right here.
