It’s over two years since the Arctic Monkeys released their fifth album AM, but it might not be too long before fans can expect to hear something new from Alex Turner.

The frontman’s side-project with Miles Kane, The Last Shadow Puppets, is apparently set to return for a second album.

The news comes from producer James Ford, who has produced several Arctic Monkeys albums as well as The Last Shadow Puppets’ 2008 debut album The Age of the Understatement. Ford also acts as drummer on the project.

Speaking to website Rock & Pop, Ford listed off his recent projects, saying:

“I’ve just done a Last Shadow Puppets record, which is the guy from Arctic Monkeys and Miles [Kane]. We did the follow-up album to that, that’s the last thing I did.”

When asked if he knew when the album was coming out, Ford said: “It will be out next year sometime.”

The new album is expected to feature work from composer and musician Owen Pallett, who tweeted – and deleted – a post earlier this year saying that the album “crosses the threshold into Classic Status #tlsp2”.
