More on that previously reported EP of new tracks being planned by Arctic Monkeys. As previously reported, the EP will feature one album track, 'View From The Afternoon', and four new songs. One of the new songs will be called 'Who The Fuck Are The Arctic Monkeys', a response to all the hype that has surrounded the band in recent months, and the inevitable backlash all that hype will lead to.
On that track, the Daily Star quote an insider as saying: "It's a poke at the fact that everyone on the planet has heard of them and that the backlash is bound to start soon. By calling it this, they've sort of nipped it in the bud and shown that they're not taking all the hype seriously."
A spokesperson for the band confirmed the EP was up coming explaining: "They had new songs that they wanted to get out there, but it's far too early to even start talking about another album yet. So here's the EP in the meantime."
