“The guys are beavering away”

December 10, 2020 Arctic Monkeys' manager has revealed that the band was planning to record in summer 2020 before COVID travel restrictions put a stop to those plans
With lockdown, the band has instead been writing more songs: "If you’re literally locked down, you’re going to knuckle down to some work at home, and that’s what’s been going on"
However, maybe don't get too excited, as it doesn't sound like new music is coming particularly soon, as no "proper work" has begun: “I’m hoping that next year, when the restrictions lift, we’ll be able to get together and get on with it," "I hope that next year they’ll start working on some new songs, new ideas, with a view on a future release"
