Hotly-anticipated concept album from Sheffield indie rockers the Arctic Monkeys! Fans have never had to wait more than 24 months for a new Arctic Monkeys record, but following the smash success of 2013s AM, theyve had to wait more than double that amount of time, and Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino was worth it and then some. The album was rolled out with minimal promotion and no lead single to speak of (our distributor even specifically asked us not to post any pictures of the vinyl prematurely for fear of some of the lyrics getting out). Truthfully, the band feel that TBH+C is best experienced in its entirety (as its a bit of a sonic departure from AM) and we couldnt agree more: the concept of the Arctic Monkeys as in-house jazz band for a hotel on the moon isnt easy to digest in 3 minutes. Alex Turners vocal delivery has slowed down a bit, and coupled with the bands laidback grooves and loungey, piano-centric arrangements, tracks like American Sports, One Point Perspective and Batphone hint at some of Pulps finer moments (or maybe we can finally hear how similar Turners sleazy Sheffield accent is to Jarvis). Theres no frenetic indie festival anthems; no When The Sun Goes Down or Flourescent Adolescent, but instead we get something along the lines of Ziggy Stardust (come to think of it, a few of these tracks actually sound quite a lot like Bowie), something fans willlikely pour over and dissect for years to come. Highlights include Golden Trunks, The Worlds First Ever Monster Truck Front Flip and Star Treatment.Black vinyl pressing housed in gatefold sleeve with 16-page booklet and download code, released by Domino.
