Arctic Monkeys announce new album 'The Car'

Arctic Monkeys have announced the title and tracklisting of their upcoming seventh album, titled 'The Car'.

The Sheffield band – who skyrocketed to fame in 2006 with their hit I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor – premiered their first new music in four years during their set at Zurich Openair festival on Tuesday with the song ‘I Ain’t Quite Where I Think I Am’. The track suggests their new album will have a similar retro style to their 2018 LP ‘Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino’, an album poles apart from their previous riff-heavy offerings.

Footage of track two from 'The Car' was posted to social media following the show and was met with mixed reactions from fans. One Twitter user wrote: “It’s awful you’re kidding yourself if you say it’s good.”
