After all the commotion caused by Alex Turner and company after they played new song “I Ain’t Quite Where I Think I Am” at the Zúrich Open Festival on August 23, the band just announced the name, cover and track list of their seventh album, ‘The Car‘
It is now official, The Car is arriving on October 21
Produced by regular collaborator James Ford and recorded at Butley Priory, Suffolk, RAK Studios, London and La Frette, Paris. Is good to mention that Butley Priory is a converted monastery in rural Suffolk. The decision not to go to a regular recording studio was inspired by some rock-and-roll legends, Turner said to Big Issue.
“There’s a bunch of Led Zeppelin and Stones records where they were in this house in the country and then they went and sorted it all out and overdubbed it elsewhere,” Turner revealed.
‘The Car’ is the follow-up to 2018’s Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino.
Per a press release, the record “finds Arctic Monkeys running wild in a new and sumptuous musical landscape and contains some of the richest and most rewarding vocal performances of Alex Turner‘s career”.
