Pure laid back California 70s soft funk, Sheffield is a million miles away, this a jaded and partied out Alex Turner, crooning and circling his lavish LA pad. Of course those insta-quotable one liners are there but the instrumentation is a subtle funk that sounds like some lost hip hop sampled staple. This is an exciting new Arctic Monkeys.

Arctic Monkeys return with their sixth album,
entitled Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino. Produced
by James Ford and Alex Turner, the album was
recorded in Los Angeles, Paris and London.

Their first release since 2013s AM finds the band
intent on continuing to explore new musical terrain
with each album. Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino
ups the ante in a big way; it is a bold and brilliant
album reflecting Turners ever more comprehensive
creative vision.
