Arctic Monkeys release official Four Out Of Five video

The video for Arctic Monkeys‘ track Four Out Of Five was directed by Ben Chappell and Aaron Brown on location at Castle Howard in Yorkshire.

The lead single from the band’s new album Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino got its live debut in the US last week, just before the LP’s release. “Described by Jamie Cook with typical Yorkshire understatement as ‘definitely not a guitar record’, Tranquillity Base… at no point relinquishes its inner weirdness, a glance inside a songwriter’s mind which, amongst the colloquialisms, is now weaving stories with the skill of a master beyond his years,” our review reads.

“His commitment to this bar-stool repartee is total, closing pair Batphone and The Ultracheese a rustic country soliloquy and shuffling hip-hop curio respectively, sounding with every listen more and more like a pair of eccentric non-identical twins.”

“The search for a handle on the moment will be conducted in a default mode of head shaking, but there are some precedents, echoes found encased in Serge Gainsbourg, Marc Bolan and, less obviously, neighbourhood oddball Stephen Jones, better known as Babybird.”
