Arctic Monkeys - Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino album

Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino is the sixth album by the English band Arctic Monkeys, releasing on 11 May 2018. The album also marks the first time that frontman Alex Turner has co-produced a full-length release from the band. In December 2016, Turner confirmed to BBC Radio Sheffield that the band was working on a new record. In September 2017, bassist Nick O'Malley announced that the band was indeed in the studio.
Arctic Monkeys’ daring sixth album is a left-turn if ever there was one, but the way Alex Turner swaps witty sleaze for absurdist suave makes it a totally bemusing and fascinating listen. Perhaps the great mystery of Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino is not its knotty themes or cryptic lyrics but what’s motivating Turner. With the keys to the most lucrative and well-oiled indie-rock band around, he’s regenerated Arctic Monkeys in service of a delirious and artful satire directed at the foundations of modern society. This is not an act of protest: Implicated in its sprawl are gentrification, consumerism, and media consumption, but rather than address these meaty topics, he strafes around them, admiring their transformation in the laboratory of his word tricks.
Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino" is a song by English indie rock band Arctic Monkeys. It was released on 23 July 2018 as the second single from their sixth studio album of the same name, along with an accompanying music video. On 16 October 2018, it was announced that a 7-inch vinyl version of the single would be released on 30 November 2018, alongside the previously unreleased B-side "Anyways".
The sixth album from Arctic Monkeys. Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino has caused more discussion, more outrage, more confusion and more enjoyment than any album of recent times.
Arctic Monkeys Lyrics. Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino". Jesus in the day spa filling out the information form Mama got her hair done Just popping out to sing a protest song I've been on a bender back to that prophetic esplanade Where I ponder all the questions but just manage to miss the mark

Arctic Monkeys’ sixth album, whose name is inspired by that landing spot, is not quite as towering an achievement as putting a man on the moon – but consider this the band’s boldest step yet. Giant leap ? Fuck, we can barely see them from here. Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino’, however, is as close as we’ve ever been to hearing an Alex Turner solo record, outside of his solo soundtrack for 2010 film Submarine. There’s a noticeable lack of workable choruses, several of the songs feature a leisurely pace that’s a far cry from most of the Monkeys’ material, and most of the 40-minute record is occupied by Turner’s crooning
Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino is Arctic Monkeys sixth album release, five years after their last. It's the longest they have gone, during their career, taking to release another album. Arctic Monkeys formed in Sheffield in 2002, releasing their debut album in 2006. Since then they have six studio albums to their name.

I want to make a simple point about peace and love, but in a sexy way where it’s not obvious, Turner sings amid eerie instrumentation inspired by German film director Rainer Werner Fassbinder.
