With so many artists releasing new albums this year, everyone is wondering about Arctic Monkeys' new album in 2017, and if the band will release new music soon. There is no doubt about the fact that we have missed Arctic Monkeys. They seemingly vanished into thin air in 2013 after dropping their well-received album, AM. However, sources have reported that they are planning on making a comeback as early as this year. If you want to know more information about Arctic Monkeys' new songs in 2017 then keep on reading.
Lead vocalist, Alex Turner, did not reveal much about their new music, and said that the band are in "no rush" to release their sixth album. Well, for the sake of their fans, we hope they decide to drop a new album this year. Turner was occupied with a lot of other projects. He is currently working with Miles Kane and their group The Last Shadow Puppets, making new music, working on an EP, and touring.
At the same time, drummer Matt Helders paired up with Iggy Pop on his new album Post Pop Depression. But the good news is that Arctic Monkeys' new album is in the works, as the band was spotted hanging out together in their hometown of Sheffield.

I want to get back on the piano, get back up to writing a song a week." He also said he hasn't thought about making AM Part Two for a while, saying, "I don't think I have that right now."
