It’ll be released by Arctic Monkeys on October 21st.

Arctic Monkeys have confirmed the details of their seventh studio album.

The Car was recorded across three studio locations – Butley Priory in Suffolk, La Frette in Paris and RAK in London – with the band’s regular producer James Ford, and includes I Ain’t Quite Where I Think I Am which was handed a live debut in Zurich last night.




It follows Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino – a Live4ever album of the year in 2018:

“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.”
