Arctic Monkeys

Europe 2013 press. New, unsealed.
The one where they disappeared into the desert with Josh Homme and came back sounding like they’d discovered witchcraft. Humbug ditches the indie lad energy for something darker, slower, and full of fuzzed-out swagger. It’s sleazy, hypnotic, and weirdly beautiful - the turning point where they stopped being a buzz band and started being a proper force. FFO: Queens of the Stone Age, The Black Keys, Miles Kane, The Last Shadow Puppets
