The Arctic Monkeys are an alternative/indie band that has become very popular among all ages. They haven’t created any new music or been on tour in the United States since 2013-2014 when their album AM came out. This is a big deal for their fans because they have waited almost eight years for them to make new music.
Their more well-known songs include Do I Wanna Know, 505, and Why’d You Only Call Me When Your High. Even after taking such a long break from creating music their new album, called The Car, has proved to their fans they are still as good as they were eight years ago.
Their new album came out on October 21, 2022. The album contains ten songs and fans have already picked their favorites like Body Paint, I Ain’t White Whare I Think I Am, and There’d Better Be A Mirrorball.
The lead singer Alex Turner told Apple Music that “It’s obviously 10 songs, but, even more than we have done before, it just feels like its a whole.”(Turner) Due to this launch of their new album, the band has also announced their North American Tour for 2023. They are instantly selling out venues and have already sold out at Red Rocks.
Personally, I am an Artic Monkeys fan so I was ecstatic when I heard that the band came out with a new album I have been listening to their previous albums for many years. Their AM album with always be my and many of their fan’s favorite but I was pleasantly surprised that this album The Car has quenched my thirst for more of their music. After just listening to the album once I found that the songs Body Paint and Mr. Schwartz are my favorites on the album. If you are a lover of alternative indie music and British bands then you should give their album The Car a listen.
