This autumn, drummer Matt Helders' mum confirmed that Arctic Monkeys were in the Californian desert recording the follow-up to '
Suck It And See.

Jill Helders tweeted: "I don't know if it helps to clear things up but lads are in the desert!"

She added: "And now we start on 5th album titles!".

According to unofficial fan Twitter account ArcticMonkeysUS, the four piece were recording the follow-up to 2011's Suck It And See in the Joshua Tree desert, where they partially recorded 2009's 'Humbug' with co-producer Josh Homme of Queens Of The Stone Age.

Earlier this year, the band's frontman Alex Turner told Artrocker about their plans for their fifth album. He said: "I think we're going to go the direction of those heavier tunes. We did 'R U Mine?', and I think that's where it's going to be at for us for the next record."
