Arctic Monkeys head to the desert

Posted: Aug 25, 2008

Arctic Monkeys are heading to the California desert to record songs for their third album.  The news comes from Josh Homme, frontman for Queens of the Stone Age. "Being Arctic Monkeys, the polar opposite would be Desert Monkeys, so they're gonna come out and just experience that, and their idea is to submerge themselves in something else and do some tracks," he told BBC 6 Music.

Homme will be producing the sessions at Rancho De La Luna studios in Joshua Tree, as he has done for Mark Lanegan and PJ Harvey. But whereas Lanegan and Harvey's recordings were made as part of Homme's collaborative Desert Sessions series, the Arctic Monkeys' songs are destined only for their own albums.

"I don't think there's any reason to bring anyone else in," Homme said. "I think they just want to experience something that's opposite to what they're used to [in the UK] and it's a good place to go to ... make some music for the sake of making music."  The Sheffield band meet up with Homme next month to start recording.
