English indie rock band, Arctic Monkeys known for their hit 2013 songs ‘Are you mine’ and ‘Do I wanna know’ are looking to unwind this year after a very successful season in the music industry.

Lead drummer Matt Helders told AFP, "There isn't any rush to do something else yet. For now this album seems like a place to leave it for bit."

The album AM, one of the best of 2013 was featured at number 449 on NME’s list of 500 Greatest albums of all time. 

The band, which is the biggest name at the Reading and Leeds Festival, a set of annual music festivals that rock England in August, are all ready to ignite the place this weekend having enjoyed a very successful year since the release of their fifth album AM, last September.

"Maybe at this point in time we're the biggest band in the world, but I've never taken that seriously,” added Helders in the interview.
