Queens Of The Stone Age's Josh Homme has told NME.COM that he is set to enter the studio with Arctic Monkeys in the USA next month to produce new songs for them.

Homme explained that the Sheffield band will fly to Joshua Tree, California next month to record new tracks.

He said that it had not yet been determined whether the songs would be released as an album or a single, as they were just experimenting at this early stage.

"I think it's going to work out great," Homme told NME.COM. "They want to submerge themselves in a place that's the opposite of where they're from and what they're used to.

"I think we're just going to start by doing a couple of tracks. No pressure. The goal is to make something that they dig so much that everyone else can too."
