Love those Arctic Monkeys but loathe shelling out the megabucks for bonus-track-bolstered Japanese import versions of their albums? Your favourite Monkeys have you covered, by way of a special edition white label 7" arriving June 18 overseas.

The white label includes two bonus tracks from the Nippon edition of Favourite Worst Nightmare, "Matador" and "Da Frame 2r". Being a white label pressing, it's not technically affiliated with any label, although a limited number of copies will be available at the Domino webstore.

The Arctics follow up this 7" with their next proper single, "Fluorescent Adolescent", on July 9. They've also tacked on a handful of European engagements since our last report, and enlisted the Coral to open their non-fest dates.
