Alex Turner "proud" of new Arctic Monkeys album

Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner has revealed that he is "proud" of the band's upcoming album.

The singer said that he is excited for the release of their fourth LP Suck It and See on June 6.

"I get nervous about gigs sometimes, but not with records - I always get excited. With every record we've done, the moment we've finished it, we've been really proud. We just want people to hear it – to share it," he told The Guardian.

Of Arctic Monkeys' fast rise to fame, he said: "One thing just led to another until that thing became, 'We're going to play Glastonbury'. That was a turning point. You do this thing that seems huge, you're really nervous... then you come back down to earth.

"I remember this feeling of, 'That was it, you got to there, now where do you go?' And the answer is… 'You go to [play a club in] Oslo'."

Asked if they crave constant success, he added: "It's not really like that for us. We want to get better rather than get bigger."
