The Arctic Monkeys have apparently nearly finished their second album and are looking forward to getting into the studio.

Lead singer Alex Turner told the NME: "The second album will be different I think.

"We've already got more than 10 songs, because we've been writing for a long time.

"The last song that went on the first album - You Probably Couldn't See for the Lights but You Were Looking Straight at Me - was written last May.

"So there are all the songs that we've written since then and they're all a bit different. I'll just be excited about getting back into the studio."
