Arctic Monkeys frontman likes country music

Arctic Monkeys' singer Alex Turner claimed that he listens to country music a lot. According to his words, this obsession has appeared during the work on the band's new album Suck It And See. However, it did not affect the record – according to Turner, Arctic Monkeys will never play country themselves.

"I started getting into country music which is something I've never gone anywhere near until quite recently, like I never understood it before. I know I'm never going to write a country tune, that just wouldn't work", claimed he.

Recently Alex Turner claimed that he was inspired by The Smiths while working on Suck It And See. Musician said that he was not trying to copy them, but the record turned out to be very similar to their style.

"I love The Smiths. I don't know if I was listening to a great deal of it while I was writing Suck It And See but I don't mind that coming through in our songs at all", said he.
