Picking up the cinematic thread Alex Turner began weaving on *Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino*, *The Car* pushes further into lush orchestral territory, swapping the Sheffield garage-rock origin story for something closer to Scott Walker or late-period Bowie. Turner's lyrics remain as oblique and image-rich as ever, and the string arrangements here give the band's most introspective writing room to breathe in ways their earlier work never demanded.
Arctic Monkeys will release their new album, entitled The Car, on Friday, October 21st. The band’s seventh studio album, The Car features ten new songs written by Alex Turner, produced by James Ford and recorded at Butley Priory, Suffolk, RAK Studios, London and La Frette, Paris. Following 2018’s Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino, The Car finds Arctic Monkeys running wild in a new and sumptuous musical landscape and contains some of the richest and most rewarding vocal performances of Alex Turner’s career.
