Arctic Monkeys rockers took a turn away from their driving rock style with their last record, Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino in 2018. Lead single and album opener “There’d Better Be A Mirrorball” follows in that direction with vocalist Alex Turner crooning over a shimmering, retro jazz instrumental. The Car features 10 tracks and is out October 21st on Domino Records. Stay tuned for new about a potential Arctic Monkeys North America tour.
