Arctic Monkeys (note, no The) announced their new album title… Oh, and Alex Turner has really long hair.

The new album set for a late August release is titled Humbug and produced by James Ford (Klaxons, The Last Shadow Puppets) in NYC and Joshua Homme (Queens of the Stone Age frontman) in the Cali Desert… Sounds like a super-hybrid of stoner-blues-rock, psych-pop, and classic Monkeys stomping dance rock. This could get confusing.

The band are taking control of the artwork for this album – drummer Matt Helders has redesigned their logo as a start.

The lads have spilled a few more beans in an interview in this week’s issue of NME. Go fetch.
