Arctic Monkeys going acoustic?

Arctic Monkeys could ditch their trademark sound for the band's new album and move towards acoustic songwriting, fronman Alex turner has revealed. The band shot to the top of the charts - quickly garnering public affection - with their blend of gritty street poetry and angular guitars. However, speaking to Uncut Magazine, Turner says despite an incredibly busy 12 months, which has seen the Sheffield act take the Mercury Music Prize, he can't put his guitar down. "I can't stop writing songs, I don't know what else I'm going to do," he says, adding that the new material could be more relaxed than people think. "I've written quite a few slower ones- there's 13 or 14 songs, maybe a few more, in different states." Laurence Bell, the boss of their label Domino Records, is also quoted as saying that new track 'Brain Storm' is "very bright and metallic - it'll shock a few people."
