Arctic Monkeys have unveiled the cover art for their new album Favourite Worst Nightmare.

Alex Turner told NME.com the band wanted to use a real work of art for the cover.

He said: "We wanted to do something physical, like do something real with the artwork. We got all these illustrators, played them some tunes and that and got them to draw bits of stuff, bits of things that we liked and stuff.

"The idea was to get a house or a factory that looks really plain and bland, dark satanic mills or whatever, and then inside there's all this colour.

"And then Juno, who did our last album, basically painted this house, and then they took an actual wall off.

"There's all these kids from the area gathering outside it every night now. They're trying to secure it, but it's probably going to get burnt down now!"

Favourite Worst Nightmare is due to be released on April 23, and will be preceded by the single Brianstorm a week earlier.
