Arctic Monkeys performing the first of two shows at Birmingham Arena in September 2018 (Gary Mather for Live4ever)
The Arctic Monkeys will include a new song on the 7″ single release of their Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino album title-track.
Anyways is on the flip-side of the vinyl which is due on November 30th, and the band have also shared the Tranquility documentary which was first shown as part of their AM:ZM exhibitions in London and Sheffield last month upon the start of their UK and Ireland arena tour. It was directed by Ben Chappell, who comments:
“After spending a year documenting Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino I wanted to try and pull it all together in a short film. I spent a few weeks with the band in France documenting the recording process with my 16mm camera in September 2017. At that point I was still only hearing bits and pieces of the tunes as they were being recorded.”
“Nearly a year later I was on stage with them in Lyon France shooting some of those same tunes. When the film came back from the lab I put the live songs next to my shots of them recording and found it to be quite nice. With that as a starting point, I then used James Ford’s instrumental mixes of the album and put an assortment of the images we created for this album overtop giving a glimpse into the last year and the full progression of Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino.”
