The Yorkshire rocker has recorded an album with The Rascals singer Miles Kane, which sources have described as "mind-bending".
Turner is reportedly keen to show that he can create a diverse range of musical styles and has been influenced by new girlfriend Alexa Chung and goth-rockers The Horrors.
A source told The Sun: "Alex likes a challenge and wanted to work with more sounds than just the material he records with the Arctic Monkeys.
"He wanted this album to be a complete departure. He’s keen to show everyone that he’s not just a one-trick pony.
"Hanging around with southern bands like The Horrors is having a major influence. This side project album is meant to sound like the mind-bending, drug-inspired music of the '70s."
