Opening Night appears on Help(2), a compilation featuring more than 30 artists including Olivia Rodrigo, Wet Leg and The Last Dinner Party.<\/p>\n
Released on 6 March, the project will raise funds for War Child – a charity set up to help children living through war.<\/p>\n
“Everyone agrees that kids shouldn’t be in a situation like that,” Matt told DJ Jack Saunders.<\/p>\n
“Our enthusiam to be involved in this album was at an all-time high. <\/p>\n
“It was an opportunity for us to do a new song and get back together for the first time in a couple of years and see if we could still do it.”<\/p>\n
The Sheffield band have built up a devoted following since they released debut album Whatever People I Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not in 2006. <\/p>\n
It became the UK’s fastest-selling debut of all time, and the four-piece went on to release a string of number one albums.<\/p>\n
Matt and his bandmates, singer Alex Turner, guitarist Jamie Cook and bassist Nick O’Malley were behind 2007’s Favourite Worst Nightmare, 2011’s Suck It And See and 2013’s AM. <\/p>\n
Their last release, The Car, climbed to number two in the UK album charts.<\/p>\n
Asked whether they needed a reason to get back to writing music, Matt told the New Music Show he didn’t feel there needed to be one. <\/p>\n
He said the studio was the band’s “happy place” and somewhere “it feels natural” for them to be.<\/p>\n
He said “time will tell” if this latest project inspires them to create more music.<\/p>\n
“I think we went into this knowing it was a one-off,” he said.<\/p>\n
“But then, having done it, we probably went away feeling like we just had a lot of fun making this record.<\/p>\n
“There’s no conversations about it, but it’s definitely something we love to do and we’ll always do.” <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
