Arctics work with QOTSA on new album?

Arctic Monkeys will collaborate with Queens Of The Stone Age on their new album, say reports.

According to the Daily Star, singer Josh Homme has agreed to work on tracks with the Sheffield band in America.

Homme commented: "We're gonna start by doing a couple of tracks. No pressure.

"The goal is to record something they dig so much everyone else will too."

Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner performed at Reading and Leeds Festivals with his side project The Last Shadow Puppets at the weekend.

Speaking about Turner's recent venture, Homme commented: "He's a really smart guy. I think what he's doing now is very brave.

"It's nice to watch somebody make an attempt to really surprise you. Safety in music is really disgusting, you know, so you have to take that leap into the unknown."
