Arctic Monkeys

Europe 2023 press. New, unsealed.
The leather-jacket era in full swing. AM is pure nocturnal swagger - big riffs, falsetto hooks, and grooves smooth enough to spill your pint to. It’s part R’n’B, part desert rock, and all attitude. The sound of the band realising they can be both sleazy and massive at the same time. Still undefeated in the “getting ready to go out” category. FFO: Queens of the Stone Age, The Black Keys, The Last Shadow Puppets, Tame Impala
